MARTIN HARLEY
Through his road worn song writing style he explores hopes and fears for fast changingtimes. Slide guitar, as always is at the root of Martins sound, mirroring his whisky soakednorthern breeze vocals. With fantastic reviews still coming in for the new album‘Roll WithThe Punches’things are looking good for the wandering bluesman.If success can be measured by a growing global demand to attend Martin's dynamic liveperformances, then perhaps his touring schedule is proof of that. He recently played to afull houseat the Union Chapel in Islington and has appeared at Edmonton, Vancouver,Canmore and Calgary folk festivals in Canada; UK Festivals Glastonbury, Bestival,Beautiful days; numerous European and US tours and events including the AMAs, TheBluebird in Nashville and Tønder in Denmark. Total Guitar Magazine ranked him #16 in theWorld's greatest acoustic guitarist poll and he was nominated as Instrumentalist of the Yearat the Americana music awards 2019.Press Quotes“Harley offers the listener a masterclass in taste, style and roots blues”–GuitaristMagazine"No doubt that he is a slide guitar master.

In 2019 British guitarist and songwriter Martin Harley is making a change. Having created a deep impression on the acoustic blues roots and Americana scene with his last two Nashville recorded albums, his highly anticipated new record finds a new and exciting sound. An Intimate and gritty analogue album, recorded in a remote chapel deep in the wilds of Pembrokeshire. Taking country blues riffs to the electric bottleneck slide guitar, served with sweet vocal harmonies and the driving rhythms of co-producer and drummer Harry Harding (Yola Carter/William the Conqueror).
Through his road worn song writing style this record explores hopes and fears for fast changing times, offering gospel like comfort and consolation. The song ‘Roll with the Punches’ implores the listener not to get dragged down when challenges seem unsurmountable. ‘Coming Home’ asks questions beyond the end of life and explores freedom from worldly desires.
If success can be measured by growing global demand to attend Martin’s dynamic live performances, then perhaps his touring schedule is proof of that. He recently played to a full house at the Union Chapel in Islington, London and has appeared at Edmonton, Vancouver, Canmore and Calgary Folk Festivals in Canada, Glastonbury Festival, Bestival and Beautiful Days in the UK, numerous European and US tours and events including the Americana Music Association UK’s AmericanaFest in London, The Bluebird in Nashville and Tønder in Denmark.
In 2018 Martin Harley was ranked #16 in the world’s greatest acoustic guitarist poll in Total Guitar Magazine and he was nominated as Instrumentalist of the Year at the Americana Music Association UK Awards.
