Martin Harley is celebrated as “One of the UK’s finest contemporary roots musicians” (Guitarist Magazine) and a “slide guitar master” (Roots Magazine). Known for his spellbinding slide guitar and ability to blend Americana, Blues, and Folk, Harley has captivated audiences for three decades, recording albums in Texas, Nashville, and Wales.
His sold-out shows at venues like London’s Union Chapel and appearances at Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall highlight his dynamic stage presence. His music has featured on TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Banshee and in live segments on PBS’s Music City Roots. Harley has collaborated with icons like Jerry Douglas and Grammy winner Derek Mixon, and his album Static in the Wires reached #2 on the iTunes Blues charts.
His latest release, Morning Sun, produced by Nigel Stonier, showcases his finest songwriting to date, with inventive contributions from Michael Blair, Mark Lewis, and Chris (CJ) Hillman. Harley’s heartfelt music continues to push boundaries in contemporary roots.
