Sam Brookes has recently supported Scott Matthews and Cherry Ghost and went on tour with Ray Davies. He also recorded his debut album for Helium Records and is now looking forward to it being released in July.
With all this experience behind him, Sam is already an accomplished musician and performer with an emerging depth and maturity that increasingly shows in his writing. His finely crafted songs, immaculate phrasing and beautifully modulated delivery reach easily beneath the skin of his audience. The magical space he creates and the elasticity of his writing and playing have the echoes and jazz arches of giants like John Martyn and Tim Buckley who he includes as his influences along with Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Laura Marling.

Secret Rivals are an Oxford based 4 piece, formed in late 2008 through a shared obsession of records such as Idlewild’s ‘Captain’ and bands such as You Say Party We Say Die and The Cribs. Secret Rivals self released their early recordings on ‘What Fists Are For’ in late 2009, catching the attention of BBC radio and XFM.

In Jan 2011 Secret Rivals signed to London indie label Kittiwake Records who will released the single ‘Tonight Matthew’ in April 2011. February saw the band interviewed by BBC Oxford Introducing, following which they were invited into the BBC 6Music studios for an interview with Tom Robinson in March. ‘Tonight Matthew’ was also picked up by Rasio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank who named the track his ‘tune of the day’ in Febuary 2011 and gave the band its first BBC Radio 1 air play in March. The band continue to play regularly across the UK and have recently shared stages with the likes of The Chapman Family, La Faro and Wilder.
