An evening of stunning folk fiddle and voice, as the Rheingans Sisters bring music from their much anticipated fifth studio album.BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners of Best Original Track 2016 and Best Band nominees in 2019, Rowan (Lady Maisery) and Anna Rheingans grew up in the Peak District. They were surrounded by traditional music and encouraged to pick up the fiddle by their violin-maker father from an early age. They have spent over a decade releasing celebrated albums and touring across the world. Their fourth album Receiver (‘a masterpiece of modern folk music’ FRUK) reached number 2 in Transglobal World Music Charts. It was rated one of the Top Ten Essential Folk Albums of 2020 by Songlines Magazine.
The sisters have a rich artistic approach to the deconstruction and reimagining of traditional music. They are known for the adventurous use of fiddles, voices, banjo, bansitar, tambourin à cordes, poetry and percussion. Their fifth album is produced by New York based Adam Pietrykowski (whose work includes Lady Maisery’s latest album tender).
Their new music will be about the here and now: indeed, about the very moment in which music is happening – is released – is most alive in the world.
