From North Yorkshire, Karl Culley is a singer-songwriter/ finger-style acoustic guitarist and has somehow managed to distill his many influences (listen closely for wisps of John Martyn, Elliott Smith, Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Kelly Joe Phelps, Richard Thompson, Bob Dylan, Tori Amos, Thom Yorke, Bruce Cockburn) into something uniquely his own - a deeply intriguing modern folk/ punk/ world/ skiffle.
