Beans On Toast Music

Beans On Toast is a British folk singer from Essex, born on December 1st, 1982. Emerging from the UK folk scene in 2005, he has gained recognition for his self-deprecating and honest songwriting style. His music openly tackles subjects such as politics, drugs, and love. A unique tradition of Beans On Toast is releasing a new record every year on his birthday.

With his distinctive approach to storytelling through music, Beans On Toast has captivated audiences worldwide. His raw and authentic lyrics resonate with listeners who appreciate his unfiltered perspective on life's ups and downs. Drawing inspiration from various genres including folk and punk, he creates a sound that is both familiar yet refreshingly original.

Beans On Toast shares similarities with other notable artists such as Ben Marwood, Will Varley, Frank Turner, Gavin Osborn, Holy Moly & The Crackers, Dizraeli, Gaz Brookfield, Ducking Punches, Skinny Lister, The King Blues, Johnny Flynn Mad Dog Mcrea Dave Hause Grace Petrie Tim Vantol The Undercover Hippy Sean McGowan Tim Barry Chuck Ragan Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. These musicians also explore thought-provoking themes in their music while maintaining an engaging and relatable sound.

This is the 10th album from Beans On Toast and is released on his traditional yearly date (it’s Xmas! It’s time for traditions!) 

It was recorded at Church Studios, engineered by Riley MacIntrye and produced by Ben Lovett of Mumford And Sons. Guest musicians include drummer Chris Mass (Mumfords), Christof van der Ven on guitar and Ted Dwane on bass. This is slice-of-life punk poetry done folk style. Gritty stories of the world of today with it’s plastic pollution, social media overload and data collection. But also a softer side with many stories of Mr Bean’s new daughter and the hospital (Homerton!) where she was born. No swearing on this album! Perhaps it’s his daughter’s influence...rough hewn songs of love and life with words playing and dancing over simple folky guitar and swingy piano backing. Rough hewn earthy vocals. Tales of london / homerton hospital and its porters from basildon and swindon.

Over the course of his huge career Beans has become something of a cult national treasure. What seemed like a throwaway festival act has evolved into something much more important, a voice of truth and honesty, cutting through the bullshit. A consistent and reliable modern-day troubadour, not afraid to speak his mind; always touring, always writing, recording and releasing music. Playing every festival under the sun and always, always, telling it like it is. A Bird in the Hand is a celebration of love, life, family and the world in which we live.
