The Widowmaker,fronted by Ian Easton, has a dark, almost occult feel, without the evil that is normally associated with such things. Influenced by the magical mixed with the reality and the disillusionment that the modern world brings, The Widowmaker exhibits blues and Folk influences on a satiric and ironic level, his sound being mainly acoustic, with intricate fingerstyle embellished by colourful prose. Influenced by early Fairport convention, Pentangle, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Fleet Foxes, Laura Marling, Mumford and Sons, City and Colour, Jay Jay Pistolet, Pete Doherty, The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin and Joni Mitchell, The Widowmaker takes you on a trip down memory lane as he writes about his life experiences to date on his new album, Soundtrack to Reality.
