Kyson Point is UK husband and wife duo Kelly and David Booth. Both critically-acclaimed artists in their own right, they now bring their individual song-writing and performance skills together in one heart-felt place.
Built on a foundation of David’s evocative acoustic guitar and Kelly’s lyrical piano, the couple craft contemporary folk music inspired by stories and moods found all around us in the natural world alongside timeless reflections on what it is to be human. Their writing is gently shaped by the sounds of classic Laurel Canyon, traditional folk songs, the wide open Suffolk skies and waters where they live and the rugged Pennine hills of David's upbringing.
The name Kyson Point (taken from a beautiful location on the River Deben in Suffolk) is new, but Kelly and David's music has been intertwined for some time. The couple both released solo albums in 2023 but Kelly's Wave Machine (under the name Kelly Bayfield) and David's All My Days were very much joint efforts in all respects. “Underwater Sky” is Kyson Point’s first official album as a duo.
From Folk East to Maverick festivals in the UK, across to Sweden’s Live At Heart and Folk At Heart, along with intimate sold out shows in their home county, Kyson Point have now fine-tuned their live set to strike the perfect balance between thoughtful ballads and uplifting foot-stomping choruses.
“By any measure, David is a master of song writing and a compelling singer...”
(Irish Music Magazine - reviewing All My Days)
“Kelly’s songbird vocal beguiles with great depth of feeling...”
(RnR - reviewing Wave Machine)
