Blair Dunlop announces the release of his third studio album ‘Gilded’ on May 6th 2016. An accomplished writer, guitarist and vocalist, Blair will also be heading out on a 16 date UK tour to promote the new record, kicking off April 20th 2016 in Shrewsbury, including a launch show at London’s Lexington on April 25th.
‘Gilded’ follows on from Blair’s highly acclaimed 2014 release ‘House Of Jacks’ and his outstanding debut album ‘Blight and Blossom’ in 2012, which saw him win the BBC R2 Folk Horizon Award. Blair is a story-teller, known for his cerebral life affirming lyrics and the new record fares no differently – ‘Gilded’ is a collection of stories and reflections, recorded in live takes at Manchester’s Blue Print Studios. On this record Blair remains true to his folk roots lyrically whilst continuing to push musically into new areas.
