Sam Carter

We are pleased to welcome back Sam Carter to Harwell as he tours some intimate venues, previewing material from his fifth studio album, which was released in 2024. Over the course of his fifteen-year career, Sam has earned a reputation for vivid, narrative-driven songwriting ?as penetrating as Richard Thompson?s best work? (Uncut). A highly regarded instrumentalist to boot, Sam is renowned by many as ?the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation? (Jon Boden) and has been described as having a ?killer voice? by Ivor Novello- winning musician Nitin Sawhney. His impressive back catalogue and captivating live shows attest to his ability to bring together a diverse set of influences from English folk song and American shapenote singing through to hard rock. Sam has made appearances on national TV, won a BBC Folk Award, and has toured the world, sharing stages with some of folk?s leading lights, including Richard Thompson, Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson and Nancy Kerr. Doors and bar at 7pm, music at 7:40pm. Support TBC
