Parking is free, tickets cost £16.00 and can be bought at http://www.danarts.org/events/martin-harley/ 

Martin Harley’s dynamic live performances explore roots, blues and slide guitar in a style The Guardian referred to as ‘spellbinding’. Described by Roots Magazine as a ‘slide guitar master’, the power of his music is reflected in global demand for his performances. Harley has released eight albums to date, four recorded on home soil and four across the Atlantic in Texas and Nashville. An album with Grammy-nominated Daniel Kimbro and Sam Lewis is due out before the end of the year. 

His recent nominations include: AMA instrumentalist of the year, Best Acoustic Guitarist and Best Acoustic Blues artist. Notable appearances include Glastonbury Acoustic and Avalon stages, Beautiful Days, Royal Albert Hall, Union Chapel, Bluebird Nashville and Tønder Festival.
