About this Event

Doors 7pm / Performance 8pm / Licensed bar avaliable

Wayward Jane’s music is a modern, transatlantic interpretation of American folk and Old Time traditions, blending roots music with fresh arrangements and original compositions. Their rich sound features fiddle, clawhammer banjo, double bass, guitar, wooden flute and close vocal harmony. Their live shows have a joyful energy, expressing the fine musicianship and playful chemistry of the band members with material ranging in mood from high- octane, toe-tapping tunes to tender and soulful songs. Wayward Jane tend to leave audiences with a glow in their hearts.

Wayward Jane are Dan Abrahams (guitar, double bass, vocals), Sam Gillespie (vocals, guitar, wooden flute), Rachel Petyt (fiddle, vocals) and Michael Starkey (5-string banjo, guitar, vocals). Each member brings a diverse range of influence and experience to create the band's distinctive sound. Dan is a multi-instrumentalist and sought after composer/arranger working in an impressive variety of musical contexts. His other projects include folk genre-busters 'Dowally' and soul-funk power house 'The Foo Birds'. Sam is one half of celebrated Northumbrian folk troubadours 'The Brothers Gillespie'. He is known for his delicate acoustic guitar/wooden flute playing and soaring, vibrato-inflected singing. Rachel is the other creative force behind 'Dowally' and a firmly established fixture of the Edinburgh session scene. She has a totally unique fiddle sound, blending stylistic elements of Scottish folk, gypsy jazz acrobatics and old time grit. Michael brings a love of American stringband music and infectious clawhammer banjo syncopation. He also plays/records as part of critically-acclaimed old time duo 'Hannah Read & Michael Starkey'.
