He is best known for his extensive catalogue of dark folk-and-country-influenced solo work, his 2019 top 40 single 'Keep Me In Your Heart', which has been successfully covered by many other artists and features in hit 2019 movie 'Fisherman's Friends', and also his brief tenure as frontman of harmony-driven trio The Mercurymen. A musician from an early age, Jinder began a lifelong career in songwriting in his early teen years. Solo work and CandlefireIn the late 1990s, Jinder worked sporadically as a solo artist, before forming alt.indie four-piece Candlefire with Daniel Minshull, Rick Porter and Mark McComish. The band are best remembered for their UK chart single Sorrow Spreads Its Wings, released by One Little Indian Records in 2002. The single entered the UK indie chart at #17, and the mainstream chart at #97[1], dropping out of the top 100 the week after. Following the band's departure from the label in 2003, Jinder left Candlefire in order to pursue other musical directions. During Jinder's time with Candlefire, he also continued his sporadic solo work, appearing live on a short solo tour and releasing solo recording The Dusty Roads EP. Memorable Candlefire appearances under the management of David Duggan's Mostly Music Management include several UK tours and Candlefire's by-request performance at Coldplay's aftershow party following their Madison Square Garden show in New York City. Olas & Jinder and The Best Of Days AheadIn the summer of 2003, Jinder joined forces with acclaimed singer/songwriter Nick Cull, AKA Olas, touring extensively together and releasing critically lauded duo album The Best Of Days Ahead[2] as Olas & Jinder on independent label FrontSide Records in April 2004. The album was out of print for a long time, until being included in Din Of Ecstasy's 2015 reissue campaign. Return to solo work and the release of Willow ParkIn summer 2004, Jinder amicably parted company with Cull and entered the studio to begin recording debut solo album Willow Park. During this time, Jinder also toured in support of singer/songwriter Martin Grech, recording and releasing 'Road:Live EP', a five-track EP culled from various tapings of shows made during the Martin Grech tour. After nine months of recording, Willow Park[3], Jinder's first full-length solo album, was released on ultra-hip indie label Folkwit Records in June 2005, drawing critical comparisons with The Blue Nile, Townes Van Zandt and Ryan Adams. The album posted excellent reviews and sales figures considerably higher than expected for a release on a small independent label. 2005 also saw Jinder touring extensively throughout the UK, making 23 festival appearances in the course of over 200 live dates played in support of the album. I'm AliveIn 2006, Jinder kept up the intensity of his live schedule, and also recorded sophomore solo album I'm Alive[4], produced by former Candlefire collaborator Stephen Darrell Smith. Released in May 2006, just 11 months after Willow Park, the album showcased Jinder's understanding of Americana, and displayed a more bluegrass and country/folk influenced direction. I'm Alive garnered even more critical plaudits than its predecessor, also finding extensive support and playlisting at regional radio stations around the UK. The album turned out to be the last that Jinder would record for Folkwit Records, with Jinder amicably parting company with the label in late 2006 to begin establishing Din Of Ecstasy, his own record label. Twenty Four HoursIn early 2007, whilst still in the process of setting up his record company Din Of Ecstasy, Jinder reacted to his new freedom to record and release whatever and however he wished by setting himself a new challenge. The challenge was to write, record, package, press and release an entire new album within 24hrs. Starting work at 8am on a Sunday in early January 2007, the record came together quickly, with ten songs being written within seven hours. Recording began at 3:30pm after a short break, and was wrapped up by 7pm. The artwork took a further two hours to complete, and twenty five copies were pressed up and made available to buy via the internet by 11:30pm, meaning the entire project was finished, from conception to commercial release, within 13 hours...It has yet to be established whether this is the fastest production and release of an album to date. Twenty Four Hours was soon pressed in greater number, and remains a popular part of Jinder's back catalogue following its Deluxe Edition remastered re-release in 2015 on Din Of Ecstasy. The Three EPsSummer of 2007 also saw the limited-edition release of The Three EPs, a compilation of Jinder's first three EP releases- The Dusty Roads EP from 2001, Road:Live EP from 2004, and the street-team-only The Years Of Winter EP from 2005. Also included as a bonus track was Jinder's elegiac take on the standard "Always on My Mind", originally taken from a various artists compilation, Eccentric Elvis, released in support of children's hospice charity Julia's House in 2005. The Three EPs is currently out of print. Rather than being reissued in its entirety, the majority of the tracks from 'The Three EPs' appear as bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition reissue of Jinder's 2005 solo debut 'Willow Park'. The Mercurymen and Postcards From ValoniaIn the summer of 2006, following the sessions for I'm Alive, Jinder joined forces with fellow singer/songwriters Gavin Wyatt and Simon Johnson to form harmony-driven trio The Mercurymen. Stylistically influenced by the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Richard Thompson and John Martyn, but driven by a folk-pop sensibility, the band recorded debut release The Keep Me in Your Heart EP in 2007, which was given a soft release by Flying Sparks Records in October of that year, but is currently out of print. In early 2008, The Mercurymen were signed by Sony BMG to their Arista/RCA imprint, and began work on their debut album Postcards From Valonia[5], which would be Jinder's sixth album, and was scheduled to be released in 2009, but alas the release was never to come to fruition, following the band's departure from Sony BMG in November 2008. The band toured extensively in 2008, playing just under 150 shows, including touring with Deacon Blue, Melody Gardot, Level 42, Sinéad O'Connor and more, along with several memorable festival appearances, including an incendiary show at The Tartan Heart Festival at Belladrum, Scotland, and a lengthy headline tour of small venues during the summer.[6] The Mercurymen parted company amicably in July 2009, due in equal part to time constrictions placed upon the group by individual commitments, and the parting of ways from Sony BMG the previous November. Nine Cents From Benelux and the return to solo workJanuary 2009 saw Jinder return to the studio to complete new album Nine Cents From Benelux[7] which was released through Din Of Ecstasy Records on 29 June 2009. On completion of the record, Jinder embarked upon a solo UK tour, sharing a bill with fellow singer/songwriters, Marcus Bonfanti and Lotte Mullan, which saw the three artists playing various venues on the UK roots music circuit. The tour drew excellent turnouts and garnered extensive praise in the media. Following the release of Nine Cents From Benelux, Jinder continued to tour extensively, promoting the album with a UK headline tour and radio broadcasts. Until the release of Crumbs of Comfort in 2012, Nine Cents From Benelux stood as Jinder's best selling solo album, outselling his entire back catalogue 2:1. Crumbs of ComfortFollowing an extended period of seclusion in 2010 and 2011 spent writing the followup to Nine Cents From Benelux and starting a family, Jinder announced in March 2012 that his long-awaited eighth album was completed, and would be released as a limited edition digipak CD via his website on 2 April 2012, before seeing a major international release via Mighty Village/Universal on 11 June. The album was critically acclaimed as "a calculated lunge forwards", with highly developed lyrical themes and string-drenched arrangements. However, Crumbs Of Comfort[8], whilst a resounding success on an artistic and critical level, sold poorly upon release and proved to be Jinder's last release for Universal, with 2012 becoming the first year in 12 years without a major Jinder tour, the artist opting to take a six-month sabbatical in order to regroup, get well and focus on his young family following the disappointment of Crumbs Of Comfort. Subsequently, however, the album gained momentum through word of mouth and, in the four years following its release, overtook Nine Cents From Benelux in sales to become Jinder's best selling solo release. Crumbs of Comfort contains Jinder's best known song, 'Keep Me In Your Heart' (A top 40 hit for Jinder in 2019, and also covered by Aled Jones (2014)[9], Elysium III (2010)[10] and The Kondoors in 2015) and 'Let My Love Be Your Shelter', a cover of which featured on TV star Nick Knowles' UK Top 20 album 'Every Kind Of People'[11] in 2018. The Mercurymen reunionIn January 2013, a press release claimed that The Mercurymen were to return to live and studio work following a four-year hiatus. A short six-date reunion tour was booked and the band played to sold out audiences across the UK, debuting new material and playing the highlights of their previous releases Postcards From Valonia and The Keep Me In Your Heart EP. The band are currently on hiatus once more but remain "open minded" to future collaborations. Traditional DarkIn late 2014, it was announced via Jinder's social media platforms that a new album was in the final stages of mixing and is scheduled for release in the new year. The first Jinder album recorded to tape, Traditional Dark[12] was released in February 2015 through Din Of Ecstasy Records, the first entirely self-produced Jinder album since debut 'Willow Park', with Jinder recording all vocals and instruments on the album himself, with the exception of the drums, provided by Ryan Halsey. The songs from the album display a far darker and more intense aspect than those from the relatively pastoral Crumbs Of Comfort, with songs such as the minimal 'Stations In The Valley' offering a harrowing oblique narrative on the Syrian refugee crisis, and the visceral rock of single 'Boil The World' marrying ancient Hopi Indian prophecies with 21st Century apocalyptica. Traditional Dark was received exceptionally well by both critics and fans, drawing comparison with fellow artists such as Bill Fay and Townes Van Zandt. Deluxe Edition reissue campaignIn October 2015, Din Of Ecstasy digitally re-released Jinder's entire back catalogue in Deluxe Edition format. All records were digitally remastered and feature over 50 previously unheard bonus tracks. The biggest scoop of the reissues campaign was the release of the "lost" album Brother Flower-Jinder Sings The Songs Of Townes Van Zandt[13]. Recorded in 2006 but never released, the album has attained almost mythical status amongst Jinder's following. The masters were found during the archiving process for the reissue campaign, and a decision to release the album was taken to put an end to the circulation of several poor quality bootleg versions of the LP. The albums reissued were: {{plainlist|indent=1|
}} Jinder Presents...KINGSIZE BLACKFOOTIn December 2016, Jinder announced the unexpected release of a Christmas single (a stark reworking of Bill Fay's 'Pictures Of Adolf Again', a standalone release which was not featured on the subsequent album) and the impending arrival of a new album in mid-2017. The title of the new album was announced as 'Jinder Presents...KINGSIZE BLACKFOOT'[14], via Jinder's social media outlets in April 2017, with the album release date slated as 17 July 2017, following the release of the first single from the album, 'Brother Can You Spare A Dime' on 22 May 2017. The press described the album as "An intense and joyful exploration of American roots music, drenched in gutbucket Delta blues slide guitar, Bluegrass from the heart of Appalachia, Louisiana murder ballads, Country Blues and even an impassioned update of Yip Harburg and Jay Gorney's Depression-era anthem 'Brother Can You Spare A Dime'. A return to the searing resonator guitars and Americana fascination of Jinder's 2006 opus 'I'm Alive', but with greater depth of field and scope of vision'." The album received extensive support at radio, with the A.B.B.A making it album of the month in September 2017, and over 150 radio stations worldwide playlisting tracks from the record. Traditional Dark:The Director's CutDuring early sessions for forthcoming eleventh album 'The Silver Age', Jinder took the decision to remix and remaster 2015's critically acclaimed but flawed album 'Traditional Dark'. Restoring the analogue warmth and sparkle from the original tapes that was lost during a troubled mastering process for the original release, Jinder added subtle instrumental flourishes, reinstated second track 'Waiting For The Sun' that was left off the first release of the album, and oversaw the mastering process to ensure that the album at last sounded as originally intended. The new version of the album was released digitally on 8th March 2019. Keep Me In Your Heart re-recording for the 'Fisherman's Friends' movie hits the UK chartsIn late 2018, it was announced that a new version of Jinder's best known song 'Keep Me In Your Heart', re-recorded by Jinder in collaboration with producer The Atlas, was to be featured in major motion picture 'Fisherman's Friends'[15], released in March 2019. The film was released to a critical fanfare and has become one of the biggest releases of 2019, peaking at No.2 on the UK Box Office Charts. The new version of 'Keep Me In Your Heart', taken from the film, was released by Mighty Village/Universal in March 2019, peaking at No.30 in the UK charts thanks to extensive support at radio and a groundswell of support through social media.
