Armchair Gods are the zen rock instrumental duo of Paul Kearns and Steve Peckover. Their music combines progressive rock, cinematic arrangement and restrained composition to explore ideas through instrumental storytelling rather than lyrical narrative. With a full pantheon of cinematic sound drawing on such diverse influences as Kate Bush, Renaissance, All About Eve, The Blue Nile, Steve Rothery, PFM, Nad Sylvan and Jeff Beck. Not to mention a touch of Mozart, Rodrigo and John Barry.
Their mission is to create nuanced and multi-faceted musical compositions to engage and immerse listeners in a sonic tapestry.
With a friendship stretching back over many years, Paul and Steve have a collective musical career of playing in numerous bands based in and around the Midlands, among them Hela, touted as ones to watch back at the end of the 90s. Steve was a regular at the Ronnie Scott’s Singer Songwriters festivals while, studying music at the Musicians Institute in London, Paul was a finalist in the UK Guitarist Magazine of the year competition. Today they are Armchair Gods who love creating and composing and hope that you enjoy their music.
