JINDER is a UK based songwriter, storyteller and international touring musician. Thirteenth album ‘Codetta’ is out now, featuring the singles ‘A Simple Song’, ‘Isabel’ and ‘Between Vermillion and Mitchell’.

Jinder's story begins with a childhood spent in the folk heartland of Warwickshire, sheltered by the rolling Avon Dassett hills and steeped in impromptu family jams with friends such as Dave Swarbrick and Richard Thompson of Fairport Convention. Pursuing a career in songwriting from the age of 14, Jinder founded alt/rock group Candlefire in his late teens, who subsequently signed to hip independent label One Little Indian in 2002 and scored a chart hit with single 'Sorrow Spreads Its Wings' later that year. 

After disbanding Candlefire in 2004, Jinder signed as a solo artist with fledgling Nottingham based indie Folkwit, releasing solo LPs 'Willow Park' and 'I'm Alive' in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Largely thanks to the support of Zane Lowe at BBC Radio One and celebrity endorsees Coldplay and Ryan Adams, Jinder signed to Sony BMG in late 2007 and formed The Mercurymen, an acoustic based trio of singer/songwriters, with Jinder joined by former Mickie Most proteges Simon Johnson and Gavin Wyatt. 

2008 saw the release of the Mercurymen album 'Postcards From Valonia', accompanied by tours with Sinéad O'Connor, Deacon Blue and Level 42. The album received extensive support from BBC Radio Two, with the band recording interviews and live sessions for Johnnie Walker, Janice Long and Bob Harris.

After departing the Mercurymen in 2009 to return to solo work, Jinder signed to Universal Records as a staff songwriter and solo artist, releasing his bestselling solo album 'Crumbs of Comfort' through Universal in 2012. The album features Jinder's best known song, 'Keep Me In Your Heart' (also a hit for Aled Jones in 2014) and 'Let My Love Be Your Shelter', subsequently covered by TV star Nick Knowles on his UK top 20 chart album in 2018.

Jinder's songs have also been recorded by Ridley Scott collaborator Lotte Mullan ('La La Love You'), former Christians songwriter and acclaimed solo artist Henry Priestman ('I Cried Today'), and classical crossover group Elysium III ('Keep Me In Your Heart').

 After leaving Universal in 2014, Jinder chose to focus on his own label, Din Of Ecstasy, turning down an offer from Polydor in favour of putting his energies into self-releasing and building the cottage industry brand. The first fruits of this came in the form of 2015's lo-fi statement 'Traditional Dark', an eclectic record which abandoned any commercial major label mores, swinging from neo folk to country-rock to grunge style protest without pausing for breath. Recorded entirely to tape in a crumbling Westcountry cottage, the album drifts in and out of focus and challenges the listener at every step, garnering the best reviews for any Jinder release to date. 

2016-2018 saw extensive touring in UK and Europe, plus collaborations with Billy Bragg, Henry Priestman and more, along with the release of Jinder's tenth album, 'Presents...KINGSIZE BLACKFOOT'.   

2019 promises to be a bumper year for Jinder, with a re-recording of 'Keep Me In Your Heart' to be featured in Universal Pictures' forthcoming major motion picture 'Fishermans Friends', released in UK and Europe in February 2019, an extensive tour thoughout UK and Europe, and the release of his eleventh album, 'The Silver Age', later in the year.

Debut album 'Play It By Ear' available on 31 January 2020.

The Electric Palace is a 500-capacity art deco gem, straddling the chasm between the pomp and volume of a heavyweight show and the intimate atmosphere of a club. Since becoming a full-time live venue in 2008, the Palace has welcomed names from The Kills and Gruff Rhys to Grandmaster Flash and was home to PJ Harvey and her band for a month-long pre-tour rehearsal. The independently run Grade II-listed masterpiece, completed in 1926, has become a magnet for the thinking band and their fans. The opera house acoustics have an uplifting effect on performances – and performers. Although old and worn, the incredible character and acoustics of the Palace are second-to-none, meaning it still beats modern, purpose-built venues hands down.
