GARETH DAVIES-JONES : A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL
With nearly 15 years of hard graft and experience as a professional musician, writing, recording and playing his way around the UK & Ireland, Gareth Davies-Jones is most certainly one of the best kept roots/acoustic secrets on the British music scene - an artist who has served his apprenticeship well and gathered a discerning following.
“one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets, powerful songs and affecting performances” Properganda
Gareth is held in high regard by many commentators as a gifted and perceptive songwriter (BBC Radio's Bob Harris, Iain Anderson & Frank Hennessy are all fans. Combining elements of Guthrie, Dylan, Taylor and Browne, the attention to musical detail is evident throughout his extensive back catalogue (8 solo & 3 collaborative albums) playing a variety of instruments and featuring a keen sense of melody woven around a rich, distinctive voice.
“Rich, soulful vocals, a fine ear for melody & masterful acoustic guitar playing” R2 Magazine
“Some artists often sing in the name of one cause or another without conviction, but that is not the case here. The legacy of well-written, descriptive music laid down by Woody Guthrie, still lives on here in the UK” Maverick Magazine (5 Stars)
“..intelligent songs which make a point gently and invoke sympathy....someone to be taken seriously” fROOTS.
