Clementine Lovell Trio

Clementine's voice has been described as Emmy Lou Harris meets Joan Baez, shimmering and soaring vocals influenced by the old school sounds of folk rock legends such as Sandy Denny and Jaqui McShee. Her music is rooted in both English and Irish folk, with songs and stories inspired by the places where she grew up: the beautiful apple orchards of Herefordshire and the rugged coast of West Cork.

In her interpretations of traditional material, she uses the dark bassy drones of her accordion and weaves her voice with the treble harmonies to create atmospheric versions of ballads and folk songs. Her original material demonstrates the ability to tell personal stories in a way that feels universal. It moves her audience to tears and laughter as she engages them with the stories of ordinary people, and the struggles, joys and emotions that connect us and make us human.
