GuitaristMy musical discovery of 2016! Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music Acoustic Hendrix! Guitar MagazineHey, the boy is good! Robert PlantThat boy is too good. Bert Jansch Album of the Month: Dubbed 'the acoustic Hendrix' and the 'English Jeff Buckley', with this amount of melodic and sonic ingenuity, Nick Harper could be dubbed 'the new Beck' - but that would be a bigger compliment to Mr. Hansen than it would be to Harper. Guitar Magazine One of the finest guitarists of his generation, his soaring vocal range and propensity for epic song place him somewhere between Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley. Thus far, however, putting his musical freedom before the demands of career, his talents have gone largely unrewarded. Miracles For Beginners, his most focused, warm and triumphant album to date, could right that wrong. Mojo' The Verse Time Forgot' from 'Harperspace' is as close to a perfect song as you are likely to get. Edinburgh Evening News Be there or be denied a life-affirming experience Rob Adams, Glasgow Herald BEN DE LA COUR Ben de la Cours visceral songwriting grabs you by the heart and doesnt let go. Weaving evocative stories of desperate characters with his signature Americanoir sound, de la Cour shines a raw, empathetic, and at times bleak light on the human condition. After receiving praise from American Songwriter, Twangville, The Telegraph and NPR for his 2023 release Sweet Anhedonia, de la Cour returns with his heart-wrenching sixth album, New Roses. A collection of what he describes as night songs, the album marks a sonic evolution into stranger, heavier, synth-inspired territory. This shift adds new layers to his delicately fingerpicked story songs, creating something that is at once soaring and beautiful, hammering and claustrophobic, yet ultimately hopeful and resilient.
