Born and raised in Gibraltar and now based in London, Gabriel Moreno has spent more than two decades forging a unique artistic voice that draws together the cultures, landscapes and traditions that have shaped his life. A published poet as well as an acclaimed songwriter, he has released a string of highly regarded albums and performed across Europe, the USA and South America, earning praise from BBC 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews and comparisons to great lyrical songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and Bill Callahan.
Accompanied by The Quivering Poets - a collective of exceptional musicians from London’s alternative folk scene - Moreno creates music that is both intimate and expansive, weaving together folk, Americana, cabaret, Latin influences and spoken word. His sonorous baritone, evocative lyrics and magnetic stage presence have made him a festival favourite, while his songs explore love, loss, identity, exile and belonging with equal measures of passion and humanity. Whether performing solo or with the full band, Gabriel Moreno delivers the kind of performance that leaves audiences spellbound long after the final note
