'English Folk meets Americana. Beautiful stuff' - BBC Introducing

Coley Garratts songs are steeped in the rich musical traditions of his home, best exemplified by the early Folk superstars of Bert Jansch, John Martyn, Nick Drake and Richard Thompson to name just a few.  At the same time he draws much inspiration from the great Americana troubadours and balladeers such as Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ryan Adams and The Band.

He constantly wanders between these two vast musical landscapes mining for songs. Any gems he is lucky enough to find get washed and cut through his unique lyrical perspective which have been inspired by a deep love of Poetry, Philosophy and Mysticism (Pope, Shakespeare, Ted Hughes, Schopenhauer, Huxley and the Tao Te Ching to name just a handful) 

Over the years he has written hundreds of songs in a constant labour of love to perfect his craft and is currently in the process of recording and cataloguing as many of them as possible.
  
His self-titled debut EP released in May 2019 is a 5 song collection of some previous recordings as an Introduction. 

New videos are also available on YouTube.
