JASON MCNIFF is a troubadour who has made nine albums of Folk, or Americana, or Alt. Country. There is an Englishness in his guitar playing however, and a European influence in his lyrics. You might like to think of Bert Jansch or Wizz Jones meeting John Prine & Townes Van Zandt, with a dash of Fabrizio de Andre or Georges Brassens. Time Out writes, ‘McNiffs quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world, an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.’ He is often touted as one of the UKs most overlooked musical treasures. His latest album ‘Everything’s a Song’ comes out on June 7th, so this is his London album launch show.
