The Glenturret Series: Salt House
Sun 17 Mar 2024 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
Strathearn Arts, PH7 4AX
Description
The Salt House sound is carefully honed - melancholy viola entangled round rich vocals and double-guitar interplay.
There’s a strong connection to place in their music - with the band based between the Scottish Highlands and Shetland. Taking their name from a dock in Ewan’s native Liverpool, Salt House draw on a wide range of influence from folk, traditional, and singer-songwriter worlds that they inhabit. Whether it’s on the festival stage or in an intimate theatre, the band share their songs with an empathy that has won them fans far and wide.
Singer, guitarist and keys player Jenny has a PHD in seabird ecology. Described by R2 Magazine as “a singer-songwriter who brings together the old and new with a rare skill.” Her solo project ‘The Living Mountain’ based on the writing of Nan Shepherd was recently released to wide critical acclaim.
Ewan has brought his sound to a myriad of bands and projects in Scotland over the last 25 years since graduating from LIPA. His long awaited solo project ‘Hushman’ showcases his own songwriting and arranging with a host of guests.
You can hear the Highlands in Lauren’s elegant bowing, honed while performing with the quartet RANT, Heal & Harrow and in her own right. Her latest solo work will be her 5th solo album to date.
