Sniff 'n' the Tears

Sniff'n'the Tears Acoustic is the duo project of Sniff'n'the Tears singer and songwriter Paul Roberts and original 'Sniff' guitarist Les Davidson. The duo perform a stripped back acoustic set exploring songs from the band's 1979 worldwide hit Driver's Seat, to the duo's acoustic album 'Jump' released in 2020. Poetic lyrics contrast day to day life and love with darker observations on the state of the world, and are interwoven with diverse and intricate guitar melodies. The acoustic gigs have opened up a new way to present the songs and connect to an audience, with Roberts describing the project as 'a great way to really explore the songs in the way of the troubadours, off the cuff and from the heart, with less concern for the arrangement.' Since launching the acoustic project in 2018, Sniff'n'the Tears Acoustic have performed a number of Uk shows, including the Acoustic stage at Glastonbury Festival (2023) and performed in the Netherlands.
