Gig: Martin Harley / Sam Lewis: Johnny’s Blues Club at Liverpool Marina: 13.11.13

Martin Harley supported by Sam Lewis

at Liverpool Marina

Wednesday, 13th November, 2013 (doors: 7.30pm, show: 8.30pm)

A lifelong devotee of acoustic guitar music, especially the ageless blues/roots sounds, Martin Harley has travelled the globe absorbing a plethora of diverse influences and honing his craft into the classic songwriting style he possesses today.

Renowned for his prowess as a slide guitarist, Martin is almost unique in the UK in his playing lap slide. In other areas and styles, however, he has proved himself a master guitarist and a consistently astounding songwriter. Not only very popular in the UK, he has also earned a huge following in the US.

Martin will be supported by East Nashville rising star Sam Lewis, who plays a modern style of blues infused with the influences of Ray Charles and Van Morrison, in what promises to be an evening of genuine quality.
