An Evening with Man at Sea

Event information

Man at Sea is a singer-songwriter in the classic sense. Crafting songs at the piano reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright or solo Thom Yorke, this is sophisticated song writing that weaves melody with lyric, taking cues from the great songwriters. His background in theatre is never far away, his songs often telling stories about the strangeness of life and the human condition.

Hailing from a small village on the Isle of Wight, where the sea served as a constant muse, his passion for song writing blossomed at a young age. Relocating to Bristol, he embraced the moniker Man at Sea and began captivating local audiences with his stripped-back, intimate performances at the piano.

After a resurgent desire to reignite his song writing career, 2023 saw the release of three brand new acclaimed singles, culminating in his first full professional EP 'Love & Anxiety'. His TikTok page amassed over 12,000 followers in the space of a few months.

Recent shows include a SOLD OUT gig at the Bristol Fringe, a tour in Germany/London in the summer of 2024 and a homecoming gig on the Isle of Wight.

2026 marks a new chapter with the release of new singles from his forthcoming studio album ‘Pale Fire Catch Me’ (March 2026) and a UK tour early 2026.

On the record Man at Sea says: “I’m incredibly excited at the prospect of releasing my first full length record. Despite the change in people’s listening habits, I have always held the album to be one of the greatest artforms. My debut will be a chance to show the versatility of my song writing style; ranging from piano ballads to anthemic indie rock. I think my audience will be surprised at the range and scope on there!”
