Liam Jordan’s debut album not only nails his colours to the mast as a certified talent, but just might be the first rung on his ascent to greatness. With a voice that sits between Jeff Tweedy and Jason Isbell, and with his own narrative framed in what would now be firmly coined as the landscape of Americana, it’s a rewarding debut. One to check out and keep a close eye on. - Matt Owens (Noah and the Whale)

Bio Liam Jordan is a folk rock singer-songwriter, based in the southwest of England. He started out playing in various folk clubs and bars, honing his craft and learning from his musical mentors on the local scene. His music has been compared to many contemporary songwriters such as Frank Turner, Neil Young and Jason Isbell. Last year was an exciting year for Liam Jordan. Having released his first solo record, Jordan hit the road for a full eighteen-city tour of the UK and Ireland to promote the album. The album fuses; folk, country, gospel and rock in a traveling blues-band style format, forging strong subject matter with powerful and emotive production, and nodding a respectful head to songwriting greats such as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen. His first single ‘Tap At My Window’ was featured on Richer Unsigned’s ‘Best of June’ playlist in association with Q Magazine, and his second single 'Mansion On The Hill' featured on BBC national news last year as part of a report on UK poverty. The album has also received radio play on many stations including BBC Introducing Devon and Cornwall and Limerick Radio. “A great new voice in Americana and folk music" - Tom Russell “A true and moving songwriter” - Martin Furey
