About

For one special night this winter, Birmingham born Dream-Folk songwriter Chris Cleverley launches his new Christmas E.P, ‘In the Shadow of John the Divine’, with a band of renowned guest musicians.

Chris Cleverley was born under a solstice moon, in the honeysuckle mysticism of a late 80s Midsummer. As his fledgling days unfurled, the symbolic sounds of ‘Hunky Dory’, ‘Graceland’ and ‘Ladies of The Canyon’ echoed from the woodchip walls of the South Birmingham terrace where he was raised; quiet and curious, saturnine and shy. 

Here, the soul of a young artist was shaped.

This winter, Cleverley tours his 5th release, ‘In the Shadow of John the Divine’; a Christmas record for the head-spinning modern age. A brand new selection of songs for the misfits, for those who have a complex relationship with the self, on their own journeys to find a place in this confusing, modern world. Songs to celebrate a curious, magical season, in all its joyful and sad contradictions.

Cleverley is honoured to be joined on this special night by an exciting band of guests musicians including Sam Kelly (Sam Kelly & The Lost Boys, Kate Rusby), Tim Heymerdinger (The Little Unsaid), Katie Stevens (Bonfire Radicals) and Kathy Pilkinton & Minnie Birch (Awake Mother).

Come bask in an exciting body of new work, showcasing the intricate fingerstyle and ambient sound design of this true guitar-man, inspired by the Lo-fi American Greats, Elliott Smith & Sufjan Stevens; a curious tapestry weaved from the hazy psychedelia of the 60s folk revival and the soulful oblivion of the 90s Pacific Northwest. 

"Rather Lovely Electro-Folk" - Radcliffe & Maconie - BBC 6 MUSIC

"The feel of Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens" ★★★★ - Scottish Daily Express

"Frighteningly brilliant works" - The Daily Star
