Three of the brightest talents in contemporary American music join forces for a unique and highly anticipated UK tour. Playing together on their first official tour, adding their collective talent to each other’s memorable material, this promises to be a milestone in contemporary American roots music.

Sara Watkins was a founder member of Nickel Creek, probably the most acclaimed progressive bluegrass band ever. Her solo career, and collaborations with the likes of Fiona Apple and Jackson Browne, has attracted comments like “Watkins’ time in the spotlight is a triumph with her agile playing and the kind of voice that gives your goose bumps the shivers.” BBC.

Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz has enthralled and charmed many with the maturity of her songs, the purity of her vocals, and her ability to effortlessly switch between guitar, banjo and mandolin as the material dictates. Her last recording, Build Me Up From Bones was widely regarded as a masterpiece – an astonishingly accomplished work for a 23 year old.

Stunningly versatile and immensely talented, Aoife O'Donovan came to prominence as the lead singer and songwriter of the highly acclaimed Crooked Still. Her first solo release, Fossils, and her solo performances have had critics drooling “She is surely the next Americana celebrity” – Robin Deneslow - The Guardian

Three exquisite talents in one room, there may not be a better gig in Belfast this year.
