Jason McNiff is a songwriter and guitarist who has released ten acclaimed albums variously described as Folk, Americana and Jazz. Yet beneath those American influences lies something unmistakably English. Imagine Ralph McTell with the poetic sensibilities of a Townes Van Zandt or Leonard Cohen.

Over time McNiff’s music has drifted away from straightforward Americana toward a more continental sound: romantic, literate songs filled with late-night streets, drifting characters, fleeting vignettes and surprising stories.

Time Out wrote: “McNiff’s quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world — an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.”

Long admired as one of the UK’s most distinctive songwriters and guitarists, McNiff has built a devoted following through exceptional musicianship and the understated depth of his songs. His album Dust of Yesterday (2022) was named Album of the Week in The Times, and in 2024 he was voted Male Artist of the Year by Fatea.
