Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves are two of the most admired musicians on today’s roots music scene. This acclaimed Canadian-American duo draws on influences from folk, old time Americana and bluegrass, creating a sound that’s adventurous, masterful, and original. Canadian banjoist Allison de Groot has achieved success as a member of Molsky’s Mountain Drifters and in a duo with step dancer Nic Gareiss. American fiddle ace Tatiana Hargreaves has performed and recorded with luminaries including Jake Blount, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. Allison and Tatiana’s 2019 debut album garnered glowing reviews, and their second album Hurricane Clarice (2022) continues their adventurous approach to traditional music. Allison and Tatiana will be appearing as guest stars on the Transatlantic Sessions live tour in February 2023, and return to our shores in May 2023 for their own much anticipated UK tour. Expect an enthralling mix of beguiling fiddle and banjo tunes and powerful songs.
