Celebrating the release of their debut album, Fritillaries will be returing to The Musician in Leicester for an intimate show as the original duo.
“Wonderful” - Cerys Matthews
Fritillaries
Playing together since childhood, Hannah and Gabriel share a unique intimacy and ability to draw audiences into their world. Their debut album - about places and people missed and found in isolation, and things found growing when we dig down into spaces the light doesn’t reach - will be released on 15th July 2022 on Pear O’ Legs Records.
Fritillaries’ music features americana instrumentation, folk roots and a pop song sensibility. It’s sometimes upbeat and driving, sometimes slow and contemplative, and always original and engaging. Something like Cara Dillon meets Born in the USA, played on banjo, guitar and mandolin.
This event will be one of only four stringband dates on the album tour (London, Birmingham, Bristol, Exmouth), with the duo being joined by Andy Hamill (Laura Mvula, Annie Lennox, Martha Reeves) on double bass and Kit Massey (Aphex Twin, Anna Calvi, Pete Tong) on violin. As a four-piece, Fritillaries are really something to be reckoned with: deep groove, lush strings, gnarly instrumentals.
