An Evening with Martin Harley at Cafe No9

The Spiel

Martin Harley, hailed as a “slide guitar master” (Roots Magazine), blends Americana, Blues, and Folk. For three decades, he’s captivated audiences and recorded acclaimed albums in Texas, Nashville, and Wales, earning praise as one of the UK’s top roots musicians. His sold-out shows at venues like London’s Union Chapel and appearances at Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall highlight his dynamic stage presence. His music has featured on TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Banshee and in live segments on PBS’s Music City Roots. Harley has collaborated with icons like Jerry Douglas and Grammy winner Derek Mixon, and his album Static in the Wires reached #2 on the iTunes Blues charts. His latest release, Morning Sun, produced by Nigel Stonier, showcases his finest songwriting to date, with inventive contributions from Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. Harley’s heartfelt music continues to push boundaries in contemporary roots. Harley is the master of the bottleneck slide guitar, ***** BLACK DEER FESTIVAL Harley has it all – voice, guitar artistry and the songs. TOTAL MUSIC Quite simply a great live act. TIME OUT LONDON No doubt that he is a slide guitar master. He is the business. ROOTS MAGAZINE One of the UK's finest contemporary roots musicians.
