Sam Browse is a London (formerly Sheffield) -based folk singer, performing songs about working class struggle and queer experience. Drawing on a folk canon of rakish werewolves, gender-fluid drummers, and inappropriately amorous kings – alongside sounds sampled from Soho to the RVT – his latest EP, Wanton Will, is a love letter to queer London. A – sort of? – newcomer to the capital’s folk music scene, we hope you enjoy him as much as we do.
