***RICHARD KITSON***

From a young age Sheffield born Richard Kitson immersed himself in the music that he loved; relentlessly emulating the sounds he heard on records from Bob Dylan to Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson to Rory Gallagher. He first taught himself the harmonica and dabbled with drums before making guitar technique not merely a passion, but an artistic obsession.

Moving on from a successful first album it was something of a revelation to discover the music of Bert Jansch, Davy Graham and John Martyn. Kitson adopted a new finger-picking style that not only unlocked a world of new potential in his personal playing; but also released a new depth of songwriting that has become a primary focus. Self taught by listening to the greats and with a deep sense of the tradition and craft of blues and folk, Richard is a musician’s musician – it all comes from the soul.

From his first eponymous album release in 2003 Kitson’s sound has matured and developed along with a career supporting some of the biggest names in folk and blues around the UK. He has regularly supported well-respected artists from across the globe such as Michael Marra, Otis Gibbs, Boo Hewerdine, John Tamms, Wizz Jones and Peggy Seeger.

Richard has gigged from London to Edinburgh; famous blues clubs to music cafes and while he’s shared bigger stages at city concert venues he often prefers the intimacy and opportunity to connect with the audience through carefully orchestrated performances at smaller venues.
