Produced by Nigel Stonier, the album has been praised for showcasing Harley’s finest songwriting to date, featuring contributions from notable musicians Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. Fans of evocative, deeply expressive roots music will find much to appreciate in this new material as well as in his extensive back catalogue.

With a reputation for spellbinding live shows, Martin Harley has filled venues like London’s Union Chapel and appeared at prestigious festivals including Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall. His music has also reached new audiences through features on television shows such as The Vampire Diaries and Banshee.

Martin Harley shared with fans: “A huge thank you for supporting me. Four shows are sold out and many more are set to do the same. I’m very thankful to be able to play music for a living and I couldn’t do it without you. See you soon.”
