After a sold out visit to God’s House Tower last year, Alex and Harriet return to lighten the hiemal darkness with their captivating combination of vibraphone and fiddle.
Their arcane, single-word tune titles are reflected in the tunes which lie ‘suspended between the energy of folk music, the avant-garde approach of jazz and minimalism, the steeliness of classical music and the atmospheres of cinematic soundtracks’.
The 15th century Crawford Room will provide an atmospheric backdrop to an evening of beguiling harmonies: come and be captivated...

About the Musicians
Harriet Riley & Alex Garden’s debut album, Sonder, presented a novel, hypnotic dialogue between a highly unusual pairing of instruments: fiddle and vibraphone. Inspired by arcane single word track titles, obscure definitions are presented to guide the listener’s attention through their original compositions, taking in trad folk, minimalism and jazz along the way.
Their second album, Sonder II, builds on their first album while experimenting with new sounds and structures. To give you a taste of the delights to come, the band have released a pair of music videos made with videographer Nirvana Hue:

The band have been recording their third album, Sonder III, over the winter which will feature all new self-penned material and further collaborations with other Bristol-based musicians. Fans can get involved in helping to make this album through the project’s Patreon page.
CDs and other merch will be available from the band on the night.
