Chris Cleverley - ‘Dream-Folk’ singer-songwriter
About
Chris Cleverley was born under a solstice moon in a late 80s Midsummer. As his fledgling days unfurled, the symbolic sounds of ‘Hunky Dory’, ‘Gracelands’ and ‘Ladies of The Canyon’ echoed from the woodchip walls of the Birmingham terrace where he was raised; quiet and curious, saturnine and shy.Here, the soul of a young artist was shaped.
Fast-forward three decades; Four nationally acclaimed albums under his belt, and ringing endorsements from The Times, Telegraph and BBC6 Music. Cleverley’s boundary-shattering ‘Dream-Folk’ songwriting & astonishing finger-style guitar have placed him firmly among the new-wave of pioneering artists carving a path through the UK acoustic landscape.
His visceral lyrical style was shaped by hazy evenings lost to the Lo-fi American-Indie Greats, as Sufjan Stevens, Conor Oberst and Elliott Smith weaved through the lantern light and shimmering incense.
His one-man live show occupies the space between a concert performance and a yoga nidra meditation.
