Kenneth J Nash

Kenneth J Nash has never done things the easy way, but his courage to confront the darker moments of his past has led him to spending his years on the music scene carving out a thriving repertoire of haunting music that stirs the heart and spears the soul.

He has written and released eight LPs under his own name (In the company of ghosts, Under a gypsy moon, We all belong, The brewer & the dealer, The fall of Eden, Luna, Room 7 and For Sarah) several live EPs, and makes regular appearances at festivals, folk clubs and acoustic showcases throughout the UK.

Recent highlight live shows of his career include playing the 2015 Isle of Wight Festival on the same bill as Fleetwood Mac and First Aid Kit and being selected to appear at Seth Lakeman’s televised Hootenanny party. He has provided support for artists such as Eliza Carthy, The Wonderstuff, Dodgy, Mark Geary, Suzanne Vega and Seth Lakeman.

His songs have received radio play, been featured in the press and released on popular podcasts worldwide, while Independent Music News twice picked him as one of their ‘artists to watch’ and Folk Radio UK nominated him artist of the month and his LP album of the month in January 2015.

The LP ‘the fall of Eden’ was nominated as ‘Best LP from a male folk artist’ by Folkwords and he continues to receive accolades for both his live and recorded works.
