FISH & BIRD www.fishandbird.ca (on tour from Canada)
At Grayshott Social Club, Hill Road, GRAYSHOTT, Nr Hindhead, Surrey GU26 6HL
I’m genuinely excited about welcoming Fish and Bird to Grayshott. They are over from Canada for their first ever tour of the UK and I feel sure they are destined for bigger things.
The band consists of Taylor Ashton on vocals, banjo and acoustic guitar, Adam Iredale-Gray, fiddle and vocals, Ryan Boeur on electric and acoustic guitars, Ben Kelly, drums and percussion and Zoe Guigueno on upright bass and vocals. They play their own unique style of Folk-Country.
Rob Fearnley, writing for Fatea magazine, described Fish and Bird’s recently released fourth album, “Something In The Ether” as:
“a folk/alternative crossover record of rare quality - a solidly brilliant album," and added:
"This is a genuinely exciting band who stand head and shoulders above the pack and who are likely to continue to set the benchmark for modern folk, for years to come."
Fiddle Head Records state:
“this is a unique and highly skilled album that constantly repays and reveals new depths with repeated listening sessions……… if like me, you like challenging rootsy music that you can listen to and get lost in, you will not find better this year. In fact of its kind I’ve not heard better this century!”
Think Fleet Foxes with Chris Martin (from Coldplay) on lead vocals and you’re starting to get the idea as to what these guys sound like………
