Twilight folktronica tinged artist Dan Clews draws his sonic structure from a diverse spectrum of styles, places and people. Hailing from one of the last remaining traditional strawberry farms in Kent the, ‘Garden of England’ is the foundation for his song writing landscape.

After spending a couple of years honing his craft on the UK’s live circuit Dan moved to Sweden and threw himself into the indie/folk scene, working with some of the most interesting talent around. These collaborations resulted in two now sold-out releases with, ‘The Stars Above’.

These recordings helped Dan secure a publishing deal with George Martin Music. Sir George said, ‘I was introduced to Dan Clews by a friend. I have always tried to support young musicians and Dan's music impressed from the first listen. He is too great a talent to ignore and it's a great pleasure to be his publisher.’

The album has received huge attention from national and regional radio, most notably in the form of a Radio 2 play listing for the single, ‘Move Too Fast’. The song spent five weeks on the Radio 2 playlist from of 3^rd April 2010. Dan has recorded over 20 sessions for various BBC regional radio stations culminating in an appearance on the Bob Harris Radio 2 show broadcast 10^th July 2010. In the mean time Dan continues to support the album with live dates and festivals across the country.
