Joel Gardner

With one hand placed firmly in Pop, Rock and Groove and the other in Trad, Roots and Folk, Joel’s music is built on infectious melodies, introspective lyrics and intricate guitar playing. His songwriting style and sound is often compared to the likes of Paul Simon and Frank Turner while drawing on influences from guitar virtuosos such as Andy McKee, John Gomm and John Butler. Joel’s music celebrates the simplicity of one man and a guitar. Despite its stripped back instrumentation, Joel throws out an enormous sound for a one man operation using only a kick drum and elaborate percussive guitar playing, his songs are instantly accessible and memorable. Performing live, his shows are an explosion of positive energy, charisma and showmanship honed from relentless gigging. He’ll make you laugh; he’ll make you cry, he’ll make you feel something. 'I Miss Angelica More' - his new single is an exciting and refreshing acoustic pop track for people to sing along to
