Local & Live Taster event: Ian Knapp album launch

Ian Knapp launches his second album, "I Could Drive and Never Stop" on the evening of July 9th at the Grey Lady.

One of the show's longest-standing solo artists, Ian's brand of melodic, edgy, lyric-based acoustic music has been critically acclaimed all over the world, from Seattle to Manila, London to New York.

His debut album, "Into These Oceans" received widespread radio play, especially in the US, and unanimously positive reviews:

"Incredible stuff. He's my new favourite artist, I'll tell you that right now... that is just too good." - John Richards, KEXP Radio, Seattle

"British singer/songwriter Ian Knapp combines Elvis Costello's vitriol with Thom Yorke's alienation from the planet Earth. Knapp's voice — raspy, quivering — is effective in its unpolished delivery. - Michael Sutton, All Music Guide

"Simply put, Into These Oceans is a fantastic album... The lead track, 'If The Aliens Came', is one of the best social commentaries I've heard..." - Ben Montgomery, CDReviews.com
