The Vernon Spring

Sounds from a Safe Harbour Festival

The Vernon Spring presents Earth, on a Good Day, with special guests.

Live at St Luke's

After many years recording and performing with a string of musical talents including Amy Winehouse, Kano, Gabriels, Joy Crookes and MF DOOM, London-based composer and producer Sam Beste embarked on his debut solo adventures as The Vernon Spring in 2021. Described by Radio 1’s Benji B as &#x27;an amazing record&#x27;, debut album A Plane Over Woods has been making gentle yet seismic waves and was recently followed by What’s Going On ~ an ambitious and audacious response to the seminal Marvin Gaye album of the same name.Sam’s playing and composition style are multifaceted - an inevitable truth, given his wealth of experience - and yet there is cohesion and integration. You could draw parallels to the delicate muted piano of Nils Frahm, the gospel-inflected melancholy of James Blake, the sophisticated song writing of Joni Mitchell, or the feel of Donny Hathaway. But Sam Beste does not rely on influences. It is a singular and unique expression, tied tightly to the innate musicality of a hugely talented songwriter and producer.Sam has been invited to create a festival specific edition of Earth, On a Good Day with some of the artists that will feature on the SFSH/37d03d residency, which is soon to be announced.
