About Pete Lambert
Pete Lambert is a singer-songwriter from York, UK. Taking influences from Folk, Americana and Country music, he sings songs about heartbreak, longing and whiskey.
His subtle and emotional finger-style guitar, honest, personal lyrics and heartfelt performances stun audiences.
An unabashed lover of the ‘sad song’ genre, Pete believes that the intense range of emotions that can be elicited by a song is a powerful thing. As a songwriter, getting those emotions onto paper and then out into the world through performance is one of the most gratifying and cathartic experiences.
Yorkshire born and bred but with the soul of a broken cowboy, Pete straddles the Atlantic - which might sound far fetched but actually he has really long legs.
Debut album, 'I Told You A Story', is out 30th August 2024.
Press for Pete Lambert
“Lambert finds beauty in sadness that lifts his songs and there's even a glimmer of humour.”
“I Told You A Story is that best of resolutions, it is filled with empathy, it is spirited and controlled, but has within the capacity to change a heart, and as songs such as Never Die, Drink To The End, Without Whisky, Long Shadow, and the album title track of I Told You A Story, so the movement of subtle and personal words climb from the depth of the Yorkshire soul within.”
“...realisation hitting hard as to quite how sophisticatedly has this all been put together. [Ghosts] could be a favourite track, the album a favourite of the year thus far.”
“Dark, soulful and wonderful to listen to.”
“Pete is a thoroughly engaging artiste, who writes songs with real heart and wit.”
“Lambert's lyrics exude a raw vulnerability”
“Pete demonstrates a maturity in songwriting that results in highly credible work. I'm sure audiences will appreciate this and wish him all the best as he looks to increase his live performances. It's a pleasure to feature him on our station.”
“The songwriting here is sublime. I think we’re very lucky to have Pete as part of the music community. I’m going to put him down as a ‘Dickie and Dan One To Watch’”
“A beautiful microcosm of true human emotion – its ups and downs.”
“A folky storyteller with an exquisite skill for weaving great tales with his lyrics”
“Now this is music for enjoying while taking in the comforts of being back on the ranch.”
“‘Every Time’ is a truly beautiful song with a delightful melody and the gentle vocals of Pete Lambert.”
“The sentimental song pulls at the heart strings. The somber tone is established from the very first pluck of the guitar and strings. The mellow melody sets the stage for the soulful vocals and honest lyrics.”
“Pete lays it all out there with his lyrics and we get just the right amount of light and dark”
“‘The Things I Think’ is a folk classic song in the making. We adore the stunning vocal performances, brilliant guitar work and relatable lyrics. This a release you do not want to miss!”
“Beautiful, that”
“[The Things I Think is] very poignant. Quite lovely too.”
