EP version with guest vocals by Jess Morgan

River's End feat. Jess Morgan

Originally from a small seaside town in Suffolk; Jim Smith – performing under the slightly more Google friendly moniker “Floorboy” – has been crafting his unique brand of indie-folk in the pubs and bars of the fine city of Norwich for the past few years.

Known for his deep, brooding vocals, unusual lyrics and finger-style guitar; Floorboy writes introspective songs that deal with the emotions, addictions and insecurities of a small town boy who is reluctantly becoming a man. Drawing influence from his own life experience, literature and a wealth of musicians, Floorboy creates music for the light headed and the heavy hearted.

2012 saw the release of the “Private Hell” EP, gaining attention from promoters and record labels from the UK and Europe. Recording of “Yellow Roses” EP began the following summer, with the first release “River’s End” being featured on BBC6 Music, Future Radio and LT4Records summer mix tape. The title track “Yellow Roses” also aired on BBC6 Music and proved popular with Tom Robinson’s “Fresh on the Net”.

The following 2013 tour included dates in Cambridge and London, a  slot on the Soap Box stage at FolkEast, support slots for Big Tent and the Gypsy Lantern, RM Hubbert and Jess Morgan.

Floorboy is currently in the process of writing new material with plans to record a full length album in the New Year, followed by a UK tour in spring 2015.
