A CRITICALLY acclaimed duo is bringing their blend of poetic lyricism and jazz guitar to the stage.
Anglo-American songwriter Sarah Gillespie and composer Chris Montague will perform at Barnoldswick Music & Arts Centre on Friday, November 13.
Their show is part of a UK tour supporting their new stripped-back duo album, recorded in a cottage on the shores of Loch Fyne, Scotland.
Their music weaves together folk, Americana, blues and Beat-inspired poetry, with Ms Gillespie’s storytelling at the heart of each song.
The Guardian has described her as "an incandescent presence with superior lyrics," while The Times called her "like Dylan on amphetamines."
Mr Montague, who plays electric and acoustic guitar, pedal steel and mandolin, brings what promoters describe as a "maverick musicianship" to the duo.
He has been praised by Marlbank as "The UK’s greatest jazz guitarist since John McLaughlin," and by Jazzwise as "Rootsy, adventurous like Tom Waits guitarist, Mark Ribot."
The pair recently performed a series of shows in California before returning to the UK to record and tour.
Their latest single, 18th Holy Curse, is set for release on November 12.
