About this event

Dark and delicate - gentle sounds for a summer Sunday

Transporting melodies, with a mixture of dark and delicate folk roots, and tight, harmony-driven, hip wiggling world folk grooves.

Wake the River span multiple generations in their ages and influences retaining a fresh flavour with delicate, stand-out lead vocals from Freeborn, sensitive instrumentation, layered harmonies and irresistible grooves.

Lead vocalist Freeborn and Woodburn explore a blend of folk, blues, indie and pop genres in their writing always searching for where a playful and ethereal soundscape meet. Multi instrumentalists Height and Seddon add to the sonic mix their knowledge of folk styles and grooves from around the world.

Regulars on BBC introducing, RTÉ Radio 1 (Lilian Smith) and Amazing Radio the band have been live in session on Radio X with John Kennedy. Wake the River has enjoyed prominent venues including The Bedford in London and The Eden Project as well as festivals in their home county, Cornwall, including Cornwall Folk Festival.
