A British singer-songwriter whose folk-rock songs mix personal storytelling with unflinching social observations.
For a good sense of his range, listen to 'She Doesn't Mind' and then 'Dave's House'. They show both his melodic side and his willingness to get a little weird.
Jarvis writes songs that don't shy away from difficult subjects. 'Gay Pirates' tackles homophobia with a folk-rock swagger, while quieter tracks like 'Betty' show his knack for intimate character sketches. He's the kind of artist who makes you listen, even when it's uncomfortable.
He started playing open mics in Devon as a teenager and put out his first EP in 2010. Since then, he's released albums like The Hummingbird and Whatever Comes, working mostly solo but occasionally with collaborators. His outspoken views on social issues have sometimes put him at odds with audiences and festival organizers.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
