Tightrope Moon

Presented by Folk&Roots…

Tightrope Moon

cast a silver web over their audiences as violin, viola and vocals entwine in celestial sounds and hypnotic melodies. From gritty re-imaginings of English, Swedish and American tunes to delicate compositions and ethereal improvisations, their spiralling melodies feel like secrets whispered in the dark.

The duo’s electrifying groove-based tunes create a sound that is otherworldly, yet deeply rooted in tradition. Their songs spin out stories old and new, as haunting vocal harmonies floating over delicate pizzicato latticework. Tales of the forest merge with daydreams in the big city as they infuse acoustic instruments with eerie experimental electronics.

For Tightrope Moon, making music is an intimate alchemy – carefully crafting ‘other worlds’ and sharing them with audiences across the country. Individually, Seth Bye and Cori Smith have performed on stages including Sidmouth Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Fire in the Mountain and Shrewsbury Folk Festival. Now, as Tightrope Moon, their magnetic performances crackle with bewitchment.

Doors open 7.30pm. Music starts 8pm.

The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited and available on a first come first served basis so, if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
