Samuel Nicholson

Songwriter, singer and guitarist Samuel Nicholson returns to the stage in London, with Quaking Aspens as support act, at SJQ, a venue hosting concerts and shows in the capital.

Samuel Nicholson is a pop, rock and indie artist whose songs are cathartic and whose singing is impassioned, with a notable command of the guitar. Early listening shaped the approach: Motown records heard in the car with his mother, hard rock albums passed down by his father, and later his own exploration of jazz, folk and experimental music from earlier decades.

The latest album, Birthday Suit, follows years of searching and longing. It moves between extended guitar solos and exposed, vulnerable writing, presenting the songs as a self-portrait that is also a love letter. After two years spent largely in the studio, Nicholson is performing again on this visit to London, with several headline shows and new music expected to be released.

The evening is headlined by Samuel Nicholson, with Quaking Aspens on the bill as support. SJQ hosts concerts and shows in London. The night will suit listeners who follow Nicholson's songwriting and guitar playing, and those curious about the new material.
