Front woman Kel not only plays double bass but has a rich velvety voice, like Alison Moyet bathed in chocolate. She’s backed by a tight band of piano, percussion and rhythm and they perform fresh, bouncy music of mainly self-penned songs with catchy melodies and infectious grooves. Kel’s songs are an intoxicating mix of humour, irony and a touch of mischief.

The magical Rheingans sisters explore traditional and contemporary folk music from across Scandinavia, Britain and America. There is strong emphasis on two fiddles and two voices with banjo, cello, bansitar and concertina too. Their debut album ‘Glad Gold Hearts‘ was released on Rootbeat Records in early 2013, and immediately received Radio 2 Folk Show airplay.
“The best music is played in the moment, when the musicians are leaning into each other and outside of themselves. Anna and Rowan’s wonderful recording captures that feeling, makes you want to be right there in the room with them.Great choice of tunes that just flow from one to the next, all beautifully played. This is a lovely, evocative piece of work” – Bruce Molsky

Their music is playful, borderless and thrilling. It glides from evocative near-classical movements through elegant polskas to buoyant reels, brought to life by Rona’s multi-personality fiddle virtuosity and Marit’s breathtaking mastery of the versatile låtmandola. Marit and Rona won the coveted Danny Kyle Award at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festival 2012, and Rona was named BBC Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year.
“The way that the Gaelic and Norwegian and Swedish languages are sung is very similar, and the melodies of the languages are similar as well. But we’re also exploring the differences in the music – in the tempos, time signatures and even the tone of the instruments.” – Rona
