Elephant Sessions
Known for their blistering live shows and appearances at such Australian festivals as Bluesfest, Port Fairy Folk Festival, Womad and more, the chart- topping band from the highlands of Scotland bring their fusion of electronica and indie folk music to venues across the country in an upbeat frenzy of mandolin, fiddle, drums and bass that will see audiences bouncing and dance floors shaking.
“the Mysticssippi Blues Man”
Hailing from the Highlands of Scotland the band formed in 2012. They are comprised of Euan Smillie (fiddle), Alasdair Taylor (mandolin), Calum MacQuarrie (bass) and Greg Barry (drums, samples).
Creating a progressive blend of intricate tunes, engulfing guitars, with a bass and drum heavy backline, their music combines the very best of trad, funk and electronica resulting in a new and exciting sound. Gigging extensively around the UK, they swiftly built a fan base and went on to release their debut album The Elusive Highland Beauty in 2014 to critical acclaim.
“…a musical mélange, a delight to the ears which, even with the juxtaposition of so many unusual influences, still flows effortlessly…”
