Captain of the Lost Waves

“The Captain is a troubadour, a storyteller and so it’s said, a free thinking renegade who writes songs that are at once unusual and dreamy, sometimes powerful and rocking, at other times softer, intuitive and spirited, rife with invention. It is said that the captain, in addition to being a wonderfully profound and unique songwriter, plus being a highly gifted singer, plays a number of unusual stringed instruments like oud, bouzouki, Lauto, and much more, and it’s their use that contributes to the world music flavor on many of his songs.”

Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music) as “…completely extraordinary…”, Captain of the Lost Waves exceeds the average and makes the impossible possible. A storyteller by nature, his music connects with listeners as he shares intimate musical tales within genre-defying melodies. This is my introduction to Captain of the Lost Waves, but the UK-based Captain has been turning heads across the globe featured on Hollywood Digest, The Huffington Post and Rock N Reel (to name a few). Further accolades include being voted as Acoustic Roots Performer at the Leeds Independent Music Awards in 2005, and Outstanding Songwriter of the Year from the Yorkshire Gig Guide Awards in 2017.

The brainchild of Shaun T Hunter, Captain of the Lost Waves’ music is “…visceral music for the mind and body.” Inspired by various performers from different decades, such as Kate Bush, Genesis, Tears For Fears, Talking Heads, Zombies and Brian Eno, the Captain has a sound that is truly unique. One of his most recent releases is the single ‘Death of the Attention Span’.
