Karl Culley is an English fingerstyle guitarist, songwriter, singer, and poet currently living in Krakow. His percussive guitar style has drawn comparison to John Martyn, José González and Bert Jansch. His second offering, The Owl, produced by Daniel Webster, was put together in York and his native Harrogate for release in 2011. The Sunday Express awarded The Owl four stars and compared Culley to both Tim Buckley and José González. Shortly after recording The Owl, Culley moved to Poland.
