OSCAR JEROME: The Spork Duo

Oscar Jerome explores his music through a new lens, with touches of psychedelic folk, samba and soul, accompanied by Jihad Darwish on double bass. The Spork Duo is a more intimate look at Oscar’s song writing and pays tribute to some of Oscar’s biggest influences like John Martyn, Baden Powell and Joni Mitchell.  

Oscar Jerome Bio Songwriter, guitarist, vocalist and producer Oscar Jerome has recently released his third solo album, The Fork—an introspective and richly layered record that blends his lyrical guitar style with sophisticated, nuanced storytelling. A former member of the acclaimed collective Kokoroko, Jerome has continued to refine his original and genre bending sound. His distinctive guitar playing can be heard throughout London's thriving music scene both in his collaborations and influence.

His music draws as much from the grooves of Prince and Jimi Hendrix as it does the folk story telling of John Martyn, the guitar riffs of Ali Farka Touré or the production of Q-Tip, bridging styles with effortless fluidity.
