‘The finest English-style finger-picking guitarist of his generation’ Jon Boden

Since winning Best Newcomer at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2010, midlands-born singer, 
guitarist and songwriter Sam Carter has been more in demand than ever. From performances at 
the Royal Festival Hall for Richard Thompson’s Meltdown to sharing the stage with the great 
Nic Jones alongside Chris Wood, Martin Simpson and Jon Boden at Sidmouth Folk Week, Sam 
continues to impress audiences and fellow artists alike.

Armed with a ‘killer voice’ (Nitin Sawhney) and the ability to play his guitar ‘like a 
harp’ (Time Out), as well as an unerring ability to put his personal experiences into a 
wider perspective, the east London-based songsmith made his mark with his debut album 
‘Keepsakes’ released August 2009. Sam is a former Emerging Artist In Residence at the 
Southbank Centre, where he collaborated with a wealth of talented musicians and artists 
including Nitin Sawhney, Riz MC (actor Riz Ahmed, star of ‘Ill Manors’), Nathan ‘Flutebox’ 
Lee and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
