Description

Global folk outfit Mishra return for their second SoundBox gig for the opening concert of the SoundBox Spring Thing 2022. Their tight web of intricate, Indian-influenced original music defies definition and is already bringing them awards recognition from just under two years of performing.
Mishra's line-up is led by Kate Griffin?s voice and inimitable clawhammer banjo, driven by Ford Collier?s continent-hopping instrumental skills (Indian tabla, African calabash, Irish whistle and guitar), and underpinned by versatile jazz-folk double-bassist and bouzouki player Joss Mann-Hazell.
Mishra originally performed as a duo under the name Kate Griffin and Ford Collier, winning Cambridge Folk Festival?s first ever Christian Raphael prize and in separate projects were both shortlisted for the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards.
Mishra?s debut album, The Loft Tapes, was released in 2019, showcasing a uniquely accessible confluence of fascinating styles.

?Kate's a very talented banjo player ? the instrument virtually an extension of her!? -David O Hara, Cambridge Folk Festival
?Incredibly executed folk? ? Christian Carlisle, BBC Radio Sheffield
