Newton Faulkner is a British singer songwriter with a unique approach to the guitar. He's had some huge hits in the UK, but is still relatively unknown in the US. He stopped by to visit us with his brother/co-writer/backup singer Toby last time we visited the UK, and we had an amazing hang. This week on the Patcast, Newton and Toby Faulkner tell us all about their music, their lives, and play us a bunch of songs.
