Siskin Green - Living in the Echo

Information

Siskin Green are a contemporary Scottish folk trio, drawing on themes of faith, feminism and justice. They have developed a loyal following across the UK, with listeners drawn to their distinctive blend of fiery protest songs, wistful re-imagined hymns, and original songs – presented in lush vocal harmony with evocative folk instrumentation. Their live performances are known for their warmth – with weighty themes leavened by a shared ability to see the funny side of things!

This is folk music that doesn't shout to be heard. Instead, Siskin Green’s new album, Living in the Echo draws listeners closer - through exquisite vocal harmony, thoughtful songwriting and stories that speak to the complexities of contemporary life with honesty, compassion and quiet confidence.

Together, Jane Bentley, Suzanne Butler and Margaret McLarty weave their close vocal harmonies over guitar, banjo, fiddle and percussion. Their repertoire sits comfortably alongside artists such as Karine Polwart, The Unthanks and Rachel Sermanni, while retaining a distinctive voice shaped by
themes of justice, memory, faith, feminism and our relationship with the natural world.
