Ren Unveils New Single 'The Coast'
Time for some Folk music! singer-songwriter Ren is back with a brand new single called The Coast, set for release on October 7th! Inspired by some of the very best folk and singer/songwriters of recent times – John Martyn, Dick Gaughan, James Taylor, Van Morrison and Foy Vance – Ren delivers a single that undoubtedly draw listeners in to his tales of yearning to explore and seek out new adventures.
Ren says,
'The Coast' was inspired by a yearning feeling that I experienced before I made a decision to take my first proper traveling trip. To get the funds together, I converted my van into a camper van and lived in it in London whilst working a 9-5. I used to turn up to work every morning in running shorts and pretend that I had ran in to work just so I could use the office showers! I started my trip by getting the ferry to Norway from England with my van and from there I drove through Scandinavia, central Europe and a bit of Eastern Europe. I ended up living in the North of Holland for a little while before I moved to France for 5 months.
I love that this is an acoustic guitar-driven tune, with great lyrics and infectious melodies.
Ren dates :
Oct 1st – Newcastle – Alphabetti Theatre (single launch)
