Cahalen Morrison and Eli West
Fri, 8th May, 2015 @ 19:30pm - 21:30pm
£7 – £11Cahalen Morrison & Eli West are, simply put, two of the most innovative and accomplished roots musicians today. Their music draws from old folk sources, but sounds vibrantly alive. Cahalen Morrison writes songs that sound like a Cormac McCarthy novel: simple, beautifully crafted, and seemingly formed from raw natural elements. Eli West brings jagged, angular arrangements based in bluegrass and old-time, but refracted through a 21st century lens.
Together, Cahalen and Eli tap the roots of old country and bluegrass duets as well as searing through fresh new compositions with virtuosic instrumental flair.
The duo are renowned as a major force in contemporary American folk music. Tim O’Brien, one of the modern day masters, is a huge fan and legendary BBC presenter Bob Harris called them “quite extraordinary”.
