Folk, blues and Americana singer-songwriter Amit Dattani has garnered attention from the likes of BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Americana UK and fRoots, with his nimble fingerpicking and striking lyrical originality. Named in ‘Best Gigs of 2023’ by Tradfolk, Amit’s raconteur spirit and superb musicianship has garnered a strong reputation on the live circuit, with over twenty years performing across the UK and Europe under his belt. 

 

His wry lyrics, mellifluous guitar and warm vocals come to the fore with his most recent release, Santiago - a collection of stripped back songs with just guitar and voice.

 

Amit has shared the stage with the likes of Charlie Parr, John Smith, Blind Boy Paxton, Willy Vlautin and Kathryn Williams.
