Part of renowned contemporary folk band Bellowhead, Sam Sweeney’s debut solo offering ‘Unfinished Violin’ saw him nominated for Musician of the Year at BBC Radio 2’s Folk Awards in 2019.
Following this, Sweeney released his “mesmerising and irresistible” (Folk Radio) second album ‘Unearth Repeat’.
This latest release explores new sound palettes and incorporates a different line-up of instrumentation with the addition of double bass, keys, and both acoustic and electric guitars.
Live, Sweeney and his band’s inimitable musicianship makes for “an outstanding and deeply moving experience” (Songlines).
