Ian Roland

Modern-vintage singer-songwriter Paul Simon + Eddi Reader + Paul Heaton at an Elbow gig with The National. I write melodically driven songs around the distinctive sound of a 12-string guitar, opening them into warm, emotionally rich full-band arrangements. My music is somewhere between roots-pop, folk and classic song-writing — sometimes intimate and stripped back, sometimes expansive and atmospheric. “classic, timeless song-writing from an artist whose songs have a richness and warmth running through their catchy melodic flow.” Americana UK “Emotionally charged, sensational, and far more than mere words set to sound” The Other Side Reviews “absolutely superb” BBC Radio Kent “captivating, classy and high-quality” HURSTFolk Festival “Warm, tender and completely absorbing…” Indiesonics
