Dan Bettridge

Dan Bettridge is a Welsh/Irish singer-songwriter working in folk and Americana, performing at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh on a UK tour that brings the new album to audiences.

Dan Bettridge's songs balance melancholy with warmth and unexpected humour. Whispering Bob Harris picked Bettridge as a favourite new artist, and Acoustic Magazine named Bettridge its Next Big Thing. Bettridge has had continuous support from BBC Radio, a feature in Rolling Stone, and four invitations to the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.

Before this record, Bettridge spent time co-writing for other artists in Nashville and London. The second album, Everything, absolutely, was made with several British folk and bluegrass players, among them Rhodri Brooks on pedal steel, David Grubb on strings and Darren Eedens on banjo, and includes a contribution from the indie-folk artist Novo Amor.

Sneaky Pete's hosts concerts and shows in Edinburgh. On stage, Bettridge puts storytelling and the songs first. The night is pitched at listeners who follow Ray LaMontagne, Josiah and the Bonnevilles or Chris Stapleton.
