Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. is the solo project of British singer-songwriter Sam Duckworth, a DIY indie-folk artist known for blending acoustic storytelling with electronic beats and socially conscious lyrics. Emerging from Southend-on-Sea in the mid-2000s, Duckworth became a staple of the UK’s grassroots music scene, using his music to tackle themes like political activism, mental health, and everyday struggles. His raw, earnest sound – think protest songs meets bedroom pop – earned him cult status, with early releases like *The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager* (2006) capturing the spirit of a generation.

Still going strong, recent releases like *Young Adult* (Deluxe Edition) and *Drift* showcase his evolved sound, balancing introspective lyricism with warm, layered production. Tracks like *Ride out the Storm* and *Hold Tight* reflect his knack for anthemic choruses and hopeful resilience, while live recordings like *Live at 2000 Trees 2019* prove his enduring connection with audiences. Whether through heartfelt ballads or remix experiments like *Vhs Forever*, Duckworth remains a relatable voice for misfits and dreamers, mixing punk ethos with folky sincerity.
