Sam Carter

Sam Carter returns with a tour of intimate venues previewing material from his fifth studio album due for release in 2024. Over the course of his fifteen-year career, Sam has earned a reputation for vivid, narrative-driven songwriting ?as penetrating as Richard Thompson?s best work? (Uncut). A highly regarded instrumentalist to boot, Sam is renowned by many as ?the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation? (Jon Boden) and has been described as having a ?killer voice? by Ivor Novello- winning musician Nitin Sawhney. His impressive back catalogue and captivating live shows attest to his ability to bring together a diverse set of influences from English folk song and American shapenote singing through to hard rock. Sam has made appearances on national TV, won a BBC Folk Award, and has toured the world, sharing stages with some of folk?s leading lights, including Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson and Nancy Kerr.
