Sam Brookes at The Architect

A gig on Wednesday 1st October. The event starts at 20:30.


A gifted vocalist with a remarkable four-octave range, Sam Brookes has carved a sound that resonates far beyond genre — drawing on jazz, folk and indie influences, and bringing an improvisational spirit that makes each performance unique. His track “Black Feathers” is currently featured in The Day of the Jackal, Sky’s biggest original series to date, and his latest album was produced by Grammy-nominated Dom Monks (Laura Marling, Nick Cave).

His pure tone, evocative lyrics, and melodic sophistication give his songs a rare emotional depth — reminiscent of artists like Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley, and John Martyn.

Also known for Supalung and being part of Bristol supergroup The John Martyn Project, Brookes brings his distinctive solo voice to Bristol Jazz Club for an intimate, atmospheric evening.

With roots that intertwine with Bristol’s rich musical fabric, this appearance feels like a homecoming of sorts — and a perfect fit for the city’s jazz scene.
