Nickie Harte Kelly
An impressive offering from a young UK artist, Here he brings a full band plus Hammond organ, mellotron, synthesizers, keyboards, violin and viola and also flute and saxophone. He’s a gifted acoustic and electric guitarist, using mostly hushed vocals, to convey a sense of introspection. The music veers from soft melodies, with choir-like voices, to hard hitting angularity, sort of a crash course of classic progressive music, yet keeping firmly to the present.
Favorite track: Like Shards of Glass Falling Through My Fingers.
