Ro Clark & Miles Stringer
South West–born singer-songwriter Ro Clark performs original folk songs with piano and guitar alongside guitarist Miles Stringer. Having wandered through life a little lost, dipping her toes into ponds far too big, her songwriting is rooted in reflection, emotional honesty, and the quiet search for connection.
Influenced by the voice of Joan Baez and the writing of Adrianne Lenker, Ro's songs blend poetic lyricism with stories of first love, homesickness, and the small moments that quietly shape our lives. Her music moves between tender folk songwriting and jazz-influenced harmony, creating performances that feel intimate, warm, and deeply human.
Ro has recently performed at Hare on the Hill in Bristol and will appear at Nowadaze Festival this summer. She is also the lead singer of Bristol band FishWife, where her live performance style has been praised for its authenticity, vocal interplay, and emotional resonance.
Reviewing the band's recent sold-out performance at Windmill Hill City Farm, Joel Fernandez of Bristol's Local Artist highlighted their "beautifully executed vocal play" and "skilful dissonant harmonies."
Together with Miles Stringer's textured guitar accompaniment, Ro creates live performances grounded in sincerity, warmth, and thoughtful musicianship.
