Sam Brookes

?there are vast emotional reserves at work reminiscent of the great Tim Buckley? -The Independent "Nothing really prepares you for Sam Brookes ... he is a national treasure" - Folk Radio ?he excels at propulsive, narratively rich folk, delivered in a soaring, clear-as-a-bell singing voice? -The Sunday Times Following the release of the album ?Black Feathers? the title track has recently been used in Sky?s biggest original Series ?The Day on the Jackal? starring Eddie Redmayne. Music Supervised by Emmy Nominated Catherine Greeves (Baby Reindeer, Killing Eve) Black Feathers released in 2020 was produced by grammy nominated producer Dom Monks (Big Thief, Laura Marling, Nick Cave) Brookes was accompanied by a wealth of talented musicians which included Ethan Johns, Neil Cowley, Nick Pini, Daisy Palmer, Sam Sweeney & Rob Pemberton. Sam Brookes is reminiscent of Tim Buckley as he glides between the lower and upper registers of his four-octave range. His pure voice, evocative lyrics and soaring melodies have cemented him as a respected figure in the alt-folk scene as an artist & collaborator. Inspired by the British and American folk revivalists of the 60's, a sixteen-year-old Brookes began to write and perform while training as a gilder in his late father's workshop. Brookes had begun to receive serious critical recognition when he self-released album, Kairos, being acclaimed by The Independent as one of the stand-out records of 2014 and tipped for the mercury nomination. The past couple of years has seen Brookes collaborate with artist & producer Pete Josef releasing music as Supalung.
