BIOGRAPHY

James Frost is an independent British folk artist whose delicate, fingerpicked guitar and dreamlike lyrics have attracted attention from BBC 6Music, Glastonbury Festival and leading online platform Folk Radio UK. His sound is reminiscent of quintessential English songwriter Nick Drake and mainstream success Ben Howard, offering both traditional and more contemporary elements.

He has toured extensively in recent years, both as a solo artist and as a band, playing shows with Martha Tilston, James Yorkston, Tiny Ruins and many other folk heroes. Bookings include stages at Glastonbury Festival, Secret Garden Party Festival, Folk East, Into The Wild and many other folk gatherings and festivals in the UK.

In the studio, James has been privileged enough to work with legendary record producer Clive Langer (David Bowie, Elvis Costello, David Byrne) who contributed production to James' EP ‘Nameless’. Upon release, the EP’s lead single and title track was chosen as one of BBC 6Music Tom Robinson’s picks of the week, with the magical accompanying video premiered by leading folk blog Folk Radio UK to critical acclaim.
