About Keith James: Solid Air – The Music Of Nick Drake & John Martyn
May you never – River Man – Solid Air – Northern Sky – Bless the weather – Fruit Tree
The early ‘70s were possibly the richest and most profoundly beautiful time for acoustic music and the art of the ‘Singer-Songwriter’.
Here are the two unique, haunting and imaginative musicians that truly touched our souls. This concert is not only a devotional representation but a ‘hands on’ performance of emotional connection.
A natural, effortless musician, Keith brings you this immaculately crafted concert alternating between five differently tuned guitars to bring you an evening of these timeless, cherished songs – words that shed all the tears of time within their fragile lines.
Reviews
