Rupert Wates was born in London and has been a full time songwriter since 1992, based in the US since 2007. His music is acoustic, melodic art/folk, with a strong emphasis on narrative and songs based on true stories. Since he came to the US, he has won twenty-five songwriting awards and plays between 120 and 150 gigs a year in venues in every state.
Here's a review of his new CD, "At the Loser's Motel"
I'm not sure which to praise more: Rupert Wates' marvelous lyrics, the spotless music, or that streetside cabaret folk voice of his, a crafted instrument which seduces as it gently reproves… All of At the Loser's Motel is laid in gentle melodies and modern folk/roots refrains… This is one gifted S.O.B, throwing off song after affecting song with what appears to be complete ease…(Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange)
Here is what some of the other concert hosts have said about his performances:
What a privilege to explore the musical and poetic mind of this profound songwriter. Rupert's intimate style is perfect for living rooms; he's a wonderful guitarist and singer, and presents an immensely appealing repertoire. But his songs are not merely beautiful -- they also satisfy on a deep, authentic level, as only the best material can. These songs will go straight to your heart.
Rupert Wates is an incredible entertainer. His lyrics captivate and pull you into the story he tells.
