Melodic and moody acoustic guitar music driven by intelligent lyrics and a folky fingerstyle tradition. It is twenty years since the songwriter was signed to the company that produced Muse. Not exactly traditional folk, blues or country, this has a punk sensibility, something like those catchy acoustic tunes you used to love.
