Hastings-based singer songwriter and guitarist Jason McNiff releases his ninth LP, Everything's a Song. The album was produced and recorded by Matt Armstrong (bass and drums) in his basement studio on King's Road, St Leonard's-on- Sea during the late summer and autumn of 2023. It features nine brand new songs, plus an English translation of Italian partisan anthem, "Bella Ciao." Jason McNiff was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in the mid-'70s. He was drawn to the guitar from an early age and by the time he moved to London in 1995, he was set on becoming a professional musician. Copying the guitar style of Mark Knopfler, he crawled the capital's dying blues circuit, jamming, and learning from older players, eventually landing at the Easycome Acoustic Club in Nunhead. He moved to Hastings in 2019, setting up the Sundowner -- an early evening show featuring music from Jason, plus a special guest. He also curates the Coffee House Sessions, another weekly event which aims to recreate the vibe of Soho clubs from the '60s such as Bungies and Les Cousins. Jason also performs together with Gibraltarian poet, Gabriel Moreno, in an homage to Leonard Cohen called "Waiting for the Miracle."

"Not just a good songwriter, McNiff is a truly great one." --Americana UK
