This show is part of the 15th anniversary tour of his iconic debut album ‘The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager’ - the perfect soundtrack for those who fall in the generation gap between gen x and millennial.

The seaside laptop folk from 20 year old Sam Duckworth, set the blueprint for the modern singer songwriter back in 2006. 1000+ shows and 100,000+ sales later, Chronicles is still a relevant soundtrack to a country wrestling with issues of racial integration, supply chain, workforce and itself.

Now 16 years after its release, Get Cape. Wear Cape, Fly, AKA Sam Duckworth, has been touring the album in full (appearing with a rhythm & horn section).

“It’s incredible to think that 15 years on, I’ll be returning to my favourite venues, playing this album. So much has changed and yet so much is still familiar. I’m looking forward to seeing how we’ve all grown and throwing it back to some myspace ’06 energy." - Sam Duckworth.

Supporting Get Cape. Wear Cape, Fly on their UK tour is Blab, a multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter called Frances Murray who also comes from Southend-on-Sea and Daniel Cliffe, a signer songwriter from Grimsby. Daniel has headlined shows in the UK, Thailand and Spain, as well as supporting artists such as Peter Doherty, Jake Bugg, Stephen Fretwell, Saint Raymond, James McCartney and Sleaford Mods to name a few. His debut album 'The Early Years' is out now on all major streaming platforms.
