Born and raised in Bramcote, Nottingham, Callum Burrows’s earliest musical excursions came performing at small venues and open mic nights across the city. Also home to the likes of Jake Bugg and Dog Is Dead, Nottingham has provided ample sources of inspiration and influence for the singer, who has managed to aptly navigate the highly saturated singer-songwriter genre. Saint Raymond released his debut EP “Escapade” in April 2013 on Gabrielle Aplin’s Never Fade Records. The record showcased the anthemic nature of Burrows’ songwriter and introduced the singer to a much larger audience.
Later in 2013 the singer became warmly received by BBC Introducing and appeared on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds Festivals in August. On top of this, Saint Raymond made an appearance on the esteemed radio show “NottinghamLIVE”, which is considered by many to be the catalyst for Burrows signing with the major label Asylum Records. By September 2013 the major-label’s promotional-machine’s wheels were in motion which saw Saint Raymond support the American indie-rock darlings HAIM on their sold-out UK tour.
The singer-songwriter’s sophomore EP “Young Blood” appeared in January 2014 on National Anthem Records. Rising to No. 4 on the iTunes Album Chart, the EP proved a popular release, with the title track being named BBC Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe’s “Hottest Record in the World”. Later that month Zane Lowe invited Burrows to perform a live session at the world-famous Maida Vale studios. After opening for Ed Sheeran on his Multiply Tour in the UK and Europe, Saint Raymond issued his third EP “Ghosts” on Asylum Records. Led by the single “Everything She Wants”, which also garnered Zane Lowe’s “Hottest Record in the World” sign of approval, the record build the singer’s profile further and earned a remix by Everything Everything. Arriving in July 2015, Saint Raymond’s debut, studio album “Young Blood”, was produced by Jacknife Lee, who known for his work with U2 and Bloc Party. Spawning the single “Come Back to You”, “Young Blood” is epitomised by Burrows’ heartfelt lyrics, catchy pop choruses, and indie-rock accompaniments.

I saw Saint Raymond a year ago in Manchester's Ruby Lounge, my word has his performance chanced in the last 12 months. Last time out it was quite a relaxed gig, he has a young following and the crowd were happy to sing along to his music and created a decent atmosphere.
I haven't heard much from him since but was expecting more of the same, man I was wrong. This time out the band gave a much heavier sound and basically rocked it this time, it was much more entertaining and I'm saying that after enjoying it last time around. He worked the crowd well got them going. His voice holds up well and he is building up a nice repertoire of songs. Looking forward to his album later in the year and would happily go and see another gig if I get the chance.
Great performer, great voice. You can tell he genuinely loves doing what he does. He hadn't toured for a few years and because people still came out and knew his old stuff and learned his new stuff he was so appreciative of the support. Would 100% recommend watching, plus he promised a new album soon so...
It was a very good night, the music was great and the crowd were too, Callum really interacted with the crowd and made it an enjoyable experience for all involved.
You could tell he loves what he does.
