26 year old guitarist and singer-songwriter Joe Hicks from Newbury, Berkshire is embarking on his own music project after recently playing as a session guitarist for Sarah Walk and Adam Barnes. Joe is a real music lover and is inspired by the organic side of creating music. He enlists John Martyn, John Mayer, Jamie Woon, Sting and Paul Simon as heavy influencers and why he has such an adulation for song-writing and guitar-based music.
His love for craftsmen such as Mayer and Woon encouraged an intricate recording process. Last summer, once Joe had decided to work on his own EP, he booked a small converted garage on Airbnb in St Ives, Cornwall that had no internet and no phone signal. “I wanted to get enough silence to focus on my own music. I spent the days writing and walking on the beach and then the evenings in the local pub.” It’s a testament to the passion Joe has for creating pure sounds and classic methods.
‘Something in the Water’ follows the first release, ‘Best Clothes’, which was added to the Spotify ‘Fresh Finds’ playlist.
