OSCAR JEROME: The Spork Duo

In the organizer's words:

Oscar Jerome explores his music from a new perspective, with influences from psychedelic folk, samba and soul, accompanied by Jihad Darwish on double bass. The Spork Duo offers a more intimate insight into Oscar's songwriting and pays tribute to some of his biggest influences including John Martyn, Baden Powell and Joni Mitchell.

Songwriter, guitarist, singer and producer Oscar Jerome recently released his third solo album The Fork - an introspective, multi-layered work that combines his lyrical guitar style with sophisticated, sensitive storytelling.

As a former member of the renowned collective Kokoroko, Jerome has steadily developed his independent, cross-genre sound. His distinctive guitar playing has shaped the vibrant London music scene - both through his numerous collaborations and his influence on other artists.

His music draws on the grooves of Prince and Jimi Hendrix as well as the folky storytelling of John Martyn, the guitar riffs of Ali Farka Touré or the production of Q-Tip - and combines these styles with effortless ease to create a unique whole.
