Keepsakes

a startlingly perceptive and self-assured young singer and guitarist from the english midlands, sam carter has spent the last few years busily honing his craft both as a writer and performer, studying guitar with martin simpson and touring with bellowhead whilst holding down his post as emerging artist in residence at london's southbank centre. 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 is now set to make his mark with his debut album 'keepsakes'.
