Folk Storytelling, Punk Spirit & Truth

Reuben Lovett is a West Midlands based songwriter blending folk, reggae, and punk into emotionally direct storytelling written from his own lived experience.
Melody driven songs that sit between delicate and spiky, tenderness with an edge.
Either solo, backed by a shifting cast of musicians or alongside 11-piece outfit Dub Catalyst. 
He's chasing the same thing every time, a kind of weightlessness and the sense of a song landing exactly as he imagined it, with a room singing it back to him. 
That instinct is DIY at heart — hand-made where it counts — built to leave an audience feeling more present not just entertained. 
His current single "Old Mexico," wrapped in cover art he hand-carved, is the clearest example yet.
