Nick Tyson (acoustic guitars) Charlotte Glasson (violin) Ruth Gibson (viola), Kate Shortt (cello) Paul Baxter (double bass) Sebastian Hankins (drums/percussion)

Chambr is a new acoustic jazz project by guitarist/composer Nick Tyson, which has received a Performing Rights Society Foundation for New Music (PRSF) ‘New Works’  Award, and is commissioned by the influential London based F-IRE Collective.

This eclectic line up is moulded by Tyson’s writing to create captivating and thoughtful music.

Influences from classical chamber, folk and middle-eastern traditions are explored within Tyson’s delicate writing to produce an exciting new voice for British music. The compositions showcase the ensemble moving seamlessly through richly textured sound-scapes, melodic string passages and intricate grooves, from stripped back minimalism to full on solos.
