Country Blues and Ragtime influenced guitarist and singer S.J. Downes moved to Liverpool in late 2006, and has been honing his unique style of Acoustic, Folk and traditional musics, live and in the studio, since. Coupling delta music and similar traditions from late 1920's and 30's with a keen sense of the present and a highly developed individual technique and expression, Downes has played in all variety of spaces around the city from the Bluecoat gallery to St. Brides Church.
After warming up in 2011 with nights for Mellowtone @ Shipping Forecast and Company Store @ Zanzibar, Downes is looking forward to opening up at the View Two Gallery on 25th March for Liverpool Acoustic Live. In line with his most recent recording, Ferrograph Series Volume 3: Blues On Sun Street (remembering Blind Thomas and other such titles...), an instrumental set of 11 6-string guitar takes, part in homage to the late great John Fahey, a small limited second edition run will be available for purchase on the evening at the View Two.
