The Lake Poets is the nom de plume of Martin Longstaff, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter from Sunderland, England. An award winning and prolific writer inspired by artists such as Feist, Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, Villagers and Neil Young, Martin’s output as The Lake Poets is as haunting as it is beautiful. The quality and depth of Martin’s writing and his sophisticated ‘Song Noir’ sound has endeared his songs to all those who come across them; audiences are regularly moved to tears by the poignant and affecting themes of the songs and their heartbreakingly tender performances. – Find out more about Martin on his website here
