Joel Gardner rounds off the year with two headline shows at The Button Warehouse in Macclesfield. This event will be a standing event and is 18+ only. JOEL GARDNER With one hand placed firmly in Pop, Rock and Groove and the other in Trad, Roots and Folk, Joels music is built on infectious melodies, introspective lyrics and intricate guitar playing. His songwriting style and sound is often compared to the likes of Paul Simon and Frank Turner while drawing on influences from guitar virtuosos such as Andy McKee, John Gomm and John Butler. Joels music celebrates the simplicity of one man and a guitar. Despite its stripped back instrumentation, Joel throws out an enormous sound for a one man operation using only a kick drum and percussive guitar playing. Performing live, his shows are an explosion of positive energy, charisma and showmanship honed from relentless gigging; singing self penned songs that are sometimes quirky, sometimes sad and often energetic, heartwarming and poignant. Joel has supported US Chart topping band The Revivalists, James Gillespie and Axel Flovent amongst many others. Over the years Joels music has won him an array of awards including the Danny Kyle Award at Celtic Connections, Wath Festivals Young Performer Of The Year Award and Manchesters Got Busker Talent.
