To hear about how his first live gig went after lockdown and some more interesting anecdotes listen to my podcast here.

As a multi-talented musician, Campbell’s mission with his lyrics, is to  create moving stories and powerful images that transporthis audiences with his words from emotional songs such as 1955 and World on a Keychain both from his 2020 album No Direction. After releasing this album he swiftly released another titled The Great Divide which features heart rending ballads such as the Only Road I know.

Inspired by lyrical geniuses such as Bob Dylan and Indie artist Langhorne slim Campbell creates music he hopes will allow his audience to make sense of their own personal well being.  Music, like stories, is the closest we will get to magic as sound allows us to escape our reality and enter someone else’s or even our own ideal version of life just for a few minutes but sometimes that’s all we need which is why…

…Fans will be happy to know that  not only is Campbell  working on new releases he also has an upcoming Live show at Leathered in Lincoln on Friday the 23rd of July.

Influenced by bands  such as The Police, The Pylons and Radiohead it’s no surprise Vigilantes are so popular,  using what we are familiar with and making it their own.

I spoke to Vigilantes about band dynamics, their writing process and their journey within the music industry which you can listen to on my podcast.
