Joe Slater (UK)

Hailing from Croxteth, Liverpool and at just 22, Joe Slater delivers a smooth saturating blend of rock, blues and soul that is beyond his years. Joe’s songwriting and unique vocals take listeners on a journey comprised of energetic sing-alongs and anthemic ballads, full of interior and reflective moments that only the greats could inspire.

Joe recorded with Rock N Roll royalty. His new ‘State of the Ark’ EP was produced by " Kipper" (Sting and many more), engineered by Cameron Craig (Adele and many more) and Mastered at Abbey Road Studios.

Since the release of new single ‘Lady’ last year, things have certainly taking off for the kid from Croxteth.

Within 24 hours ‘Lady’ was picked up by BBC Radio Merseyside and subsequently given national BBC Introducing radio-play after being hand-picked by Tom Robinson on Radio 6 who commented;

“Lady carries such absolute conviction you can’t help but get swept up in its gravitational pull. He’s clearly a man on a major musical mission”.

Next came the call from British Airways confirming that Joe's forthcoming EP, ‘State of the Ark’, will be available on all long-haul flights from February 1st 2019, reaching up to 1 million listeners a month.

To add more froth to the story, Joe was Caffe Nero's artist of the month during December, with ‘Lady’ and other ‘State of the Ark’ tracks playing in over 700 stores every day across the UK.

Kicking off 2019, January saw Joe sell out the award winning Green Note in Camden and pack out Liverpool’s own Parr Street Studios on February 15th which secured him on the line up for this year’s Isle of Wight Festival, Cornbury, LIMF and The Alternative Escape.
