About Soundhouse: Rachel Walker & Aaron Jones
“Happy puts it mildly, listening to this music takes me to a place way beyond happy, so joyously upbeat is the music, songs and melodies buoyant with vibrancy and life” – Seuras Og, At The Barrier.
Bringing together one of Scotland’s finest Gaelic singer-songwriters with one of the country’s foremost folksingers and accompanists, Rachel Walker and Aaron Jones celebrate songs from both the traditional and contemporary repertoire with a focus on sensitive arrangements with beautiful vocal harmony.
They celebrated their song writing partnership by releasing their critically acclaimed debut duo album, Despite The Wind And Rain, which premiered at Celtic Connections 2023. Extensive touring in the UK, Canada, and Ireland saw them nominated as ‘Folk Band of the Year’ at the Scots Trad Awards 2023 and named on The List magazine’s 'Hot 100' for 2023, recognizing their contribution to Scottish culture.
Two of Scotland’s most highly regarded performers, Rachel and Aaron bring a wealth of skills, knowledge, musicianship, and experience to this exciting new duo. After years of writing, touring, and performing with many of traditional music’s finest, Rachel and Aaron have joined forces to create one of the scene’s most exciting new collaborations. Their combined passion for song and the exploration of the wide repertoire across the tradition, blended with beautiful and heartfelt original songs, ensure an evening of captivating live music and song with two of Scotland’s finest singers and musicians.
2024 has already seen Rachel included in the Hands Up For Trad's ‘Women in Culture’ list for 2024. Rachel, along with eleven other amazing Scots women, featured in the list which was released on International Women's Day. 2024 will also see the release of a brand new, entirely ‘trad’ album to reflect their shared passion for traditional song. The album is due for release this coming winter, so you can be among the first to hear it.
