Passenger

Folk
Folk

Passenger is a Folk act. Their sound grew out of Nina Nesbitt and Fast Car. Those roots explain a lot about how Passenger arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as James Bay, Mighty Oaks, Mumford & Sons, Hollow Coves and Roo Panes, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Matt Corby, Birdy, Jasmine Thompson, Boy & Bear and Fireboy DML, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Passenger, reaching back through Nina Nesbitt and forward to Matt Corby.
