Chris Brain emerged out of Leeds’ vibrant folk scene in 2022 with his debut, critically acclaimed and widely distributed album, Bound to Rise. He has since shared the stage with acts such as Robert Plant and Martin Simpson and is now embarking on his third UK wide tour.
His much-anticipated second album, Steady Away, moves inward and takes on a more self-reflective quality, whilst retaining glimmers of soaring figures and pastoral imagery.
Described by Mark Radcliffe on the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show –‘There are shades of the master Ralph Mctell here and I can think of no greater compliment than that…Love it!’
His commitment to folk is only deepened by the two folk clubs and folk festival in Leeds that Chris founded and runs, attracting a wide range of audiences and musicians alike.
‘Steady Away is everything a second album should be…. this is an excellent album by a musician really starting to bloom.’ – Folk Radio
’New sounds from Chris Brain, I’m certainly enjoying it’ – Cerys Matthews – BBC Radio 6
