Serious Sam Barrett is a Jumpin Hot Club regular & one of our favourite act’s. Based in Otley, Sam’s a folk and country singer/songwriter playing honest, heartfelt self penned and traditional songs on 12 string guitar and banjo. He’s really more than that as his live performances are exceptional.
“Songs that rattle with the ghosts of Appalachian folk, and southern blues, yet sound emphatically English.”- Uncut Magazine
