Bridport Arts Centre
The golden voices and fertile soundworlds of Sheffield folk duo, Rowan and Anna Rheingans, create an immersive and uplifting musical journey.
Exploring evocative influences from across Europe, the sisters’ performances take in baroque fiddle tunes and trance beats, metal-inspired arrangements of traditional ballads and improvisations with phone Voicenotes. Their unmistakable brand of avant-garde trad blends ancient song and universal stories with future imaginings, dystopias and dreams.
Previous winners of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Original Track and nominees for Best Band, with their uniquely blended sound of fiddles, voices, feet, banjos, electric guitar, synths and the powerful bass drones of the medieval tambourin à cordes, The Rheingans Sisters remain one of the most visionary acts on the British folk scene today.
The Rheingans Sisters’ latest album, Start Close In, was released in September 2024 to critical acclaim and was celebrated at #2 in the Guardian’s Top 10 Albums of 2024.
