Kyle Carey + Josienne Clarke & Ben
Walker
Tuesday
7th May
£8
Kyle Carey is playing as part of her first UK tour.
She describes her music as “Gaelic Americana”. It includes elements of
the American Folk Anthology, influences from Irish, Scottish and Cape Breton
traditional music, and the Appalachian poetry of Louise McNeill.
Her debut album “Monongah”, released in 2011 and showcasing her beautiful pure
voice and superb writing, hit just about every Year’s Best list that matters.
Songs like the Southern snake handler story “Adenine” and the haunting title
track live long in the memory.
Josienne Clarke has a voice that has been justifiably
compared to Sandy Denny’s, to which Ben Walker’s intricate and understated
acoustic guitar playing is the perfect accompaniment. She is the current holder
of the Fatea Female Vocalist of the Year award and together they won the 2012
Isambarde Folk Award. They have supported everyone from Martin Simpson to
Mary Hampton and are rapidly making a name for themselves on the UK folk scene.
Josienne & Ben have recorded a new EP with Kyle
that will be available at this show.
