Kate Griffin and Ford Collier hone in on an intimate exploration of their roots in the folk music of the British Isles and America.

The duo’s new music is rooted in their accomplished instrumental playing, with both musicians playing at the highest level of UK folk on their respective instruments. While Kate Griffin’s clawhammer banjo is at home within the earthy tones of old time Americana, she has consistently pushed the boundaries of her technique to allow a chameleon like flexibility of style, and Ford Collier has extensively absorbed the techniques of contemporary Irish low whistle pioneers such as Brian Finnegan and Michael McGoldrick. Kate adds to the mix stunning songs that draw from the same creative well, and the resulting sound shifts seamlessly from hypnotic banjo backed by driving guitar, to flowing whistle tunes drawn from Irish trad and intricately rearranged, creating a dynamic tapestry that traces the continuing journey of traditional music from the British Isles.
