“Deeply in touch with the human experience” - Folkroom records
Son of a Liverpool joiner, Oxford University graduate, teacher and traveller in the far east, and former photographer and tweeter to the Prime Minister, Ian David Green announced his arrival on the Folk & Americana scene with the release of his 2021 debut album Songs of the Sea, hailed by folking.com as “a truly magnificent work”.
He introduced tracks from his follow-up album, Songs from the Wheel, at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival, Southport’s Love Folk festival and BBC Sounds online in early 2022, cementing his growing reputation as one of the finest lyrical songwriters of contemporary folk and acoustic music today.
Ian was born and raised in Liverpool, England and now lives in London. His early influences include folk greats such as Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel and Leonard Cohen, artists whose styles are reflected in his thoughtful and poetic lyrical arrangements.
Ian's interest in low-fi, Americana and electronic music informs occasional, darker works such as the Songs of the Electric Night EP released in March 2020.
