Marvin Powell

Marvin, writes about human nature, love and its perils. His songs insidiously affecting and charged with dark, inward melancholia that sends a shiver down the spine. He’s no stranger to social commentary either, his music is by turns romantic, cynical and haunted, with lyrics that are borne by an ‘old soul’ writing from a modern urban perspective. With his latest EP, ‘Opulent Heart’ a collection of ethereal heartfelt hymnals set for release TBC to complete a trilogy of recent EPs. The latest collection of songs where touchstones Paul Simon and Devendra Banhart are framed with sun dappled psychedelia, are nuanced, honest and intimate. After a hectic 12 months that saw Powell support John Cale’s Velvet Undergroud at their sell out concert in Liverpool and stand out performance at the Liverpool International Music Festival in July. 2018 has started where he left off with a hometown sell out headline gig and supporting kindred spirits the Lost Brothers on several of their UK tour dates.
