Will Barnes Quartet
19A The Close, Lichfield, WS13 7LD
Description
Off the back of their critically-acclaimed album Outside the Light (Cambrian Records) and sell-out UK tour, the Will Barnes Quartet come to Lichfield Festival. Drawing inspiration from local folklore and Celtic mythology, the album explores themes of light, seasons and changing landscapes. This second album deepens the group’s exploration of the interplay between jazz improvisation and the evocative landscapes of Mid Wales and the Welsh Marches.
Led by guitarist and composer Will Barnes, the quartet features pianist Jack Gonsalez, bassist Aidan Thorne, and drummer James Batten; an ensemble recognised for its tight chemistry and compelling live performances. Their sound pays homage to jazz greats such as Wes Montgomery and Pat Metheny, while forging a distinct voice rooted in contemporary and cinematic jazz.
