John Jefferson Release New Single “The Voyeur‏”

John Jefferson is set to release his debut EP ‘Helmsman’, on the 24th of June 2016. Listen here.

Jefferson wrote the tracks on a narrow-boat while traveling through the Hertfordshire countryside last summer. He then recorded the tracks on a ship called Lightship95 at the London docklands last Christmas. The nautical theme to the production of this EP inspired Jefferson to name it Helmsman.

Jefferson’s is a multi-instrumentalist with influences mostly American from the 60’s/70’s and artists such as: Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Blaze Foley and The Doors. Inspiration which can be seen perfectly on Helmsman.

The 5 track-EP, is an ethereal, bluesy, Americana infused affair. Most of the instrumentation on the EP is Jefferson’s bar the drums. From one masterpiece to the next, Jefferson has managed to create a beautiful sound which will remind you of a Californian beach drive.

Jefferson will be playing the live circuit with his band over the summer including:

20/06 Waiting Room in Dalston.
21/06 Victoria in Dalston

The Helmsman EP will be released on the 24th of June 2014.
