Jem Bosatta doesn’t do background. He’s the kind of performer for whom you stop in your tracks, put down whatever you’re holding, and just listen. His stripped-back style and knack for storytelling belie his rustic roots, recalling Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. Like his heroes, he draws from folk arts and establishment arts – traditional and classical music, from poetry to pop – to create something profound, a wild swing at the ideal of timelessness.
