Passenger

From: Brighton and London

Influences: Traditional acoustic folk and electronica, Willy Mason, Jack Johnson and Imogen Heap.

Profile: Brighton-based singer Mike Rosenberg met his song-writing partner Andrew Phillips at a Free Burma Campaign benefit gig in London in 2002. The pair recruited bassist Marcus O'Dair, drummer Alon Cohen and keyboard-player Richard Brincklow to create a blend of acoustic folk in the story-telling tradition and electronica-influenced modernity. The album Wicked Man's Rest is being released on the ChalkMark label next month, preceded by single Walk You Home.
