Chris Brain - Steady Away

Chris Brain emerged out of Leeds' vibrant folk scene in 2022 with his
debut, critically acclaimed and widely distributed album, Bound to Rise,
reaching #22 in the UK Folk Charts
His much-anticipated second album, Steady Away, moves inward and takes on a
more self- refective quality, whilst retaining glimmers of soaring fgures and
pastoral imagery.
Brain's distinctive warm vocal and fnger- picked guitar style are sustained
alongside expansive strings and delicate piano arrangements, taking shape
through evolving and introspective impressions on tenderness, loss, pain and awe
in nature.
The album was recorded at The Nave, an old refurbished church which is now a
studio. Glancing off The Nave's eaved ceilings with natural reverb, Steady Away's
11 tracks, recorded by Tom Orrell, capture the intimacy of Chris' songwriting.
Musicians appearing with Chris on the album are, on piano - Simeon Walker, violin
- Mary-Jane Walker and on double bass - Alice Phelps.
Steady Away further embeds Chris Brain within the contemporary folk scene,
whilst gesturing towards the folk tradition. His commitment to folk is only
deepened by the two folk clubs and folk festival in Leeds that Chris founded and
runs, attracting a wide range of audiences and musicians alike
