Chris Cleverley

Ambient Dream-Folk songwriter Chris Cleverley’s Spring 2027 tour is all about creating brief, but lasting moments of peace and grounding, within the chaos of 21st Century life.

Extending from the lush vernal awakening of Beltane, to the mysticism of Midsummer, these special evenings explore the healing power of nature, the calming presence of ambient, atmospheric guitar music and the impact of the breath on body and mind.

Framed around this crucial Springtime hinge of the year - as the seasons change and blossom with honeysuckle mysticism - this special evening is a rejuvenating journey of folklore and landscape, season and self.

Whether you’re a lover of live music in tranquil, intimate settings, a student of relaxation and mindfulness, or simply yearning to re-centre yourself within the frenzy, Chris Cleverley invites you to experience some glimpses of calm within the frenzy.

A true guitar-man, Chris Cleverley’s breathtaking fingerstyle technique dances above lush ambient soundscapes, drawing comparisons ranging from Lo-fi American Greats, Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens to UK guitar royalty John Martyn & Nic Jones; a curious tapestry weaved from the hazy psychedelia of the 60s folk revival and the soulful oblivion of the 90s Pacific Northwest.

This unique brand of dreamy, psychedelic folk has taken him from the columns and airwaves of The Telegraph, Sunday Times and BBC 6 Music, to the world-renowned stages of Cambridge Folk Festival & the English Folk Expo, twice earning him FATEA Magazine’s ‘Male Artist of the Year’ Award.

As he brings together fresh material for his 4th studio album, join Chris as he unveils exclusive first glimpses of never-before-heard brand new material.
