Soundhouse: Wayward Jane
Wayward Jane have appeared at folk clubs and festivals across the land, touring extensively in the UK and Ireland and you can catch them at Traverse Bar on Monday 12th June!
About Soundhouse: Wayward Jane
Wayward Jane’s music is a modern, transatlantic interpretation of American folk and Old Time traditions, blending roots music with fresh arrangements and original compositions. Their rich sound features fiddle, clawhammer banjo, double bass, guitar, wooden flute and close vocal harmonies. Wayward’s live shows have a joyful energy, expressing the fine musicianship and playful chemistry of the band members – Dan Abrahams(doublebass), Sam Gillespie (vocals), Rachel Walker (fiddle, vocals) and Michael Starkey (banjo). Ranging in mood from high- octane, toe-tapping tunes to tender and soulful songs, Wayward Jane tend to leave audiences with a glow in their hearts.
Wayward Jane has appeared at folk clubs and festivals across the land, touring extensively in the UK and Ireland. They were recently featured live in session on BBC Radio Scotland’s Travelling Folk where Bruce MacGregor remarked that “they’re just that bit different from anything else happening in Scotland!” The band are busy members of the Edinburgh traditional music scene, playing in bands such as Brothers Gillespie, Dowally and The Watch Thieves. Soundhouse audiences will remember Michael Starkey from some fabulous duo performances with Hannah Read.
They have released two albums – Wayward Jane and Old Train.
