Small Time Kid at Spiritual Bar 2026-01-15T19:00:00
Roaring through the UK Americana scene like a freight train through a dusty Mississippi halt, Small Time Kid are a harmony-hollerin’ slide guitar-totin’ groove machine.
Before making it as a full time musician, singer / guitarist / songwriter / producer Dan Clark “scraped a living as a warehouse boy, building crew lackey & Beyonce’s roadie…that’s a long story".
“I found my way round a guitar playing along to the radio. The stage school kids can tell you what “mixolydian” means…I’m not sure I can even spell it.”
If that’s a hindrance, nobody told the producers of ABC TV’s worldwide hit series Nashville, which featured his songwriting.
The band, also featuring Alex Bramwell (bass), Oscar Reynolds (drums) & Sean Keating (keys), met “on a nightclub gig”, playing non-stop requests for “the session musician’s toughest ever client…the public”.
Add to that client list their backing musician “day job” frequent employers, Americana royalty like Connor Selby, Sir Rod Stewart, Jill Andrews, Georgia van Etten, Gill Landry, Logan Brill & Megan O’Neill.
Experience working with Grammy winning producers like Guy Fletcher (Mark Knopfler, Sam Fender, Roxy Music, Dire Straits), Philip Magee (Kodaline, The Script, Miles Kane), Jerry Boys (Ry Cooder, John Lee Hooker, Pink Floyd, REM) & Mark Collins (The Charlatans) was invaluable when home recording their first 3 singles, which racked up 40k Spotify plays to date.
