Rodina is the long-standing musical evolution of Irish born singer-songwriter Aoife Hearty and her partner – Joe Tatton. After a six-year hiatus, Rodina returned to the forefront of the UK jazz-funk scene with their most ambitious project to date: the  album, Good Company. Seamleslly weaving together acid jazz, cosmic jazz-funk, and a touch of hippy Americana, all anchored by Aoife’s effortlessly soulful vocals and Joe’s vintage Hammond organ and Fender Rhodes textures.

Joe Tatton Trio‘s debut album Big Fish was released in 2022 and went on to win over a legion of support from fans and media alike, including BBC 6, national French station FIP, national Spanish station Radio 3, Australian station 2SER and media such as Blues & Soul, Music Is My Sanctuary, and Music Republic Magazine.
