Troubadour Concert Series: Rupert Wates

Rupert Wates is a transplanted Englishman who writes, sings, and plays witty, wordy, quirky songs on unlikely subjects. A writer who makes you think.  Rupert was born in London, UK, and has been based in the US since 2007. He has won over 50 songwriting and performing awards. He was voted ‘Artist Of The Year’ by the Listening Room Network in both 2013 and 2016. Many of his songs have been covered by other artists, including two full-length tribute albums to his material recorded by independent artists in Nashville and Los Angeles. He has released 10 solo albums, averaging 120 live shows annually in the US, Canada, and Europe. Colorado Central Magazine describes his songs as “sublime folk hymns’” while Folk And Acoustic Music Exchange adds, “This is one gifted s.o.b…if you’re not hip to this guy, you’re missing out”.
