Salt House at the Atkinson Southport (March 27)

Salt House at the Atkinson Southport – Friday 27 March 2015

Acoustic four-piece Salt House is the meeting of four distinct musical minds on the Scottish scene.

Their highly current sound is earthy, deep-rooted, yet eagerly progressive, built from grassroots folk with contemporary influences. 2013 saw the release of their debut ‘Lay Your Dark Low’ described as “the multifaceted work of a significant new collective” (The Herald).

Boasting previous winners of BBC Young Folk Awards, a Scottish Jazz Award and many titles at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards, they now join together to make “a seamless team” (The Guardian). Their reworking of old ballads sits alongside their own writing and the instrumental section wraps Siobhan Miller’s striking, distinctively Scottish voice in a myriad of musical colour and textures.

Siobhan Miller: Vocals, Harmonium
Ewan MacPherson: Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Vocals
Lauren MacColl: Viola, Fiddle
Euan Burton: Double Bass
