Martin Harley is a mesmerizing singer/songwriter whose original sound draws on influences from old time blues and folk to world music, to create songs that sound so familiar you think you’ve grown up with them. Songs about living in cars, worn out shoes, girls lost in the carnival lights, and a constant sense of wondering are recurring themes in Martin’s music. His original approach to playing slide guitar across his lap and his accomplished finger style playing are the cornerstone of the music, along with his whiskey-soaked northern breeze vocals.
“In the Martin Harley Band the future of British roots and blues is assured.” Guitarist Magazine
