Tarren
Genre : Music - Folk/blues/world
Music can exist Outside Time. The new and the old are melded expertly by Tarren with their trademark sound that is progressing the Folk genre.
This is New-Folk, and this trio?s unique sound is captivating audiences across the UK, blending modular hooks and minimalist forms with traditional rhythms. Tarren is gaining a reputation for tight musicianship and intricate arrangements, all played through a playful prism that reflects the character of the artists and takes the listener to emotional heights.
Original and traditional material is expertly arranged by this trio of musicians who are creating music that moves and excites people. Tarren is leading folk music to a new place, while keeping the pulse of traditional dance at its heart.
Tarren is made up of Bristol-based artists Sid Goldsmith (Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, Awake Arise), Alex Garden (The Drystones, Harriet Riley & Alex Garden) and Danny Pedler (Pedler // Russell). They combine cittern and concertina, fiddle, and accordion to create their music, which they call New-Folk.
Tarren began with a sharing of compositions over the internet during the lockdowns of 2021. Fast forwards a few months and they were able to meet in person with a set of songs and tunes that they?d each explored separately but never heard with their collective instrumental voices. Fun was had, plans were made.
Tarren?s debut album Revel was released in 2022 to high acclaim and was compared with the work of Faustus and Lau?s legendary debut album Lightweights and Gentlemen. They toured this material nationally in April 2023 and are on tour in 2024.
Tarren?s second studio album Outside Time was released in September 2024 and presents a developed sound and gained high praise from across the Folk scene.
