Nigel Barker

A combination of true grit and grace.

If you imagine Beck with Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen with the Delta Saints and then dust in
some Joe Gideon, Kurt Weill, Curtis Stigers, Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel you might
understand a little about where Nigel Barker’s music is coming from.

UK based, Nigel Barker’s music is lyric oriented, with strong melodies and often
experimental musical arrangements which keep things interesting. He says, ’I can’t name
one genre for my whole body of work ‘cos I just keep moving and I like it that way.
Whatever grabs me at the time might offer up a couple of tracks in a certain stye. I keep
audio and written notes throughout the year and they become the basis for the songs
when I sit down and write. My favourite reviewer comment so far has to be “This guy is just
the right amount of strange.”’
