Josh Bray is an English folk blues singer-songwriter born in Devon, England, and currently living in New Hampshire, United States.
Inspired by the songs featured in that film, the Bray brothers began to unpick the playing style of, at first, Nick Drake and subsequently, the plethora of British folk revival talent that was revealed to them in the course of their studies.
It was recorded in the winter of 2009 by The Bennet Brothers of Truck Festival fame and featured many of the Oxford scenes brightest talents as guest performers.
Away from the unnecessarily earnest songs of his youth and through a strange Southern Rock, folk hybrid towards the assumption of his ultimate form as The BlackWhite.
Bray now produces and composes music for the television, film and advertising worlds, working with agencies such as BBH and WCRS and clients such as Warburtons, EBay, and Jack Wills.
Half of the album was recorded in Truck Studios, run by the Bennet Brothers, members of the critically acclaimed Oxford-based group Danny and The Champions.
"[1] BBC Music: "An album that'd sit nicely between solo efforts from the likes of Roddy Woomble and Fyfe Dangerfield, Bray's debut is a really accomplished, affecting set"[2]
