“It doesn’t matter what they play, its passion, intimate and of high quality.”

– Folkworld

Sweden-based Daniel & Emma Reid release their third album, Life Continuum, and embark on a two-month long caravan tour, including England, Scotland, Sweden and Germany. The duo-couple perform self-penned tunes, traditional material and songs from both Scandinavia and the British Isles, all with a remarkably close and spontaneous interaction. The eclectic mix of instruments and vocals combined with sheer musical brilliance makes for incredibly varied, evocative performances.

Daniel & Emma Reid are two of the busiest musicians in Sweden and have toured as theatre musicians and in folk and world music bands for the last 20 years. Their previous albums have received rave reviews and radio air on both sides of the North Sea. Daniel & Emma Reid have collaborated with many outstanding international musicians, including Ian Carr, Nikolaj Busk (Dreamers Circus), Roger Tallroth (Väsen) and Eskisehir Symphony Orchestra (Turkey).

“A sensitive, mellifluous pairing of fiddle and saxes in elegantly reflective exploration.” – fRoots

Emma, born to a Swedish mother and English father, explains the choice of album title: "Our composition Life Continuum is inspired by a theatre piece reflecting on the relentless cycle of birth, growing, aging, death, birth. It made us realise that we really are warmly embedded in the midst of life - with two small kids our days are filled with laughter, tears, responsibilities, caravan adventures, sleepless nights...

On our third duo album we are on our own - no guests, just two humble voices. We relish in the small-scale, the acoustic and the intimate, which we believe is needed more and more in our modern society of speed, social media and fancy productions."
