The Market Tap by Tap Social is delighted to present Barton Hartshorn…

Barton Hartshorn grew up in the English village of the same name and spent his childhood listening to folk singers playing in the local clubs. The storytelling nature of these songs were to have a big influence on his own music as he blended it with the sound coming out of the UK’s pop and rock scene.

After three albums fronting the band Dictafone, whose last album Home was mixed in LA by Ken Scott (Beatles, Bowie, Supertramp, Lou Reed), Barton returned to his folk roots with a first solo album Headquarter café, but it was during a year spent in Australia that I died of boredom & came back as me began to take shape.

Drawing on influences from such West Coast American artists as Joni Mitchell, Jackson Brown, and Steely Dan, the songs took on a more Americana feel. Following European success, the album was released in the USA and Barton toured there twice in 2019.
