A first Mill visit from this Texas-based musician, who effortlessly melds blues, folk and roots traditions with lyrics that are fresh and contemporary. Steve is a prolific composer and gifted instrumentalist whose flawless fingerpicking and slide guitar are delivered with excitement and exuberance. An internationally recognised guitar tutor, his performances are characterised by masterful musicianship, the depth and humour in his material, an energetic stage presence and the stories that come from a lifetime on the road.
To round off the summer season, a return visit from one of the finest acoustic finger-style and slide guitarists in the world. Twice winner of Musician of the Year in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, winner of Best Album and Best Original Song, Martin's incredible 39 year career goes from strength to strength. His musical influences are eclectic - from traditional English to blues, New Orleans jazz, R&B and more - and his interpretation is full of emotional power, yet subtle and under-stated beauty. Don't miss!.
