Anna & Elizabeth (USA) - concert & singing workshop
Anna & Elizabeth are a multi-talented American folk duo whose performances include a delightful mix of singing, music, stories and art. Join us for a very special concert at Hepworth Village Hall, preceded by a harmony singing workshop (places strictly limited for the workshop).
Highly acclaimed old time Americana duo Anna and Elizabeth (USA) attracted high praise on their 2015 UK tour for their excellent musicianship, matchless harmony singing and the unique charm of their live performance. Their self-titled album was also named runner-up in the FRoots Magazine Critics’ Poll of last year. Their interpretation of traditional ballads from both sides of the Atlantic and their renditions of some foot-tapping Appalachian tunes showcase the purity of their two voices and some glorious instrumental picking on fiddle, guitar and clawhammer banjo.
Anna & Elizabeth’s concerts also include storytelling and anecdotes about the traditional music practitioners they have learned from and about – the two women are also keen archivists and song collectors. Their live show also features what they call “crankies” – beautifully made scrolling illustrations made of papercuts and embroidered cloth. These interludes, often musically accompanied, make the experience of seeing them perform live even more magical. These gals are not to be missed – this is traditional music at its finest!
