Newton Faulkner

Newton Faulkner believes in accidents. A bona fide pop star here in the UK - where radio presence, great press and a thrilling live shows drove him to the top spot on the album sales charts (twice).

He makes music full of serendipity and happenstance, coincidence and luck. Faulkner sings in a voice shaped by years spent listening to Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Tom Waits and plays guitar with a distinctive tap-pick-and-strum technique that allows him to use the instrument as guitar, bass and drums all at once.

Call it folk-pop, and get ready to hear quite a lot of it as Faulkner goes about spreading his success across the world.
