...this is a call for us getting together...

About Me

LITTLE HERO was formed some 5 years ago as a means to create and perform music without boundaries, to say innermost thoughts over, or indeed under sublime tunes that envelope and entertain. Taking my influence from the likes of Will Oldham, Bill Callahan and infusing this with my ingrown need for a punk ethic (some might say blind stubborness?!) I aim to portray an uncensored form of music in a beautiful manner.... I hope you get it? The usual live performance is one man and a guitar, sometimes electric, sometimes acoustic but excursions are made into the wild , wonderful and the ever elegant noisy. ENJOY.
