Doghouse Roses (UK)

In the organizer's words:

Live in the COBRA Kantine | Free admission - hat goes round!

Iona MacDonald and Paul Tasker, one of Scotland's most celebrated duos, inspire with intimate and warm-hearted songs. MacDonald's honeyed voice harmonizes perfectly with Tasker's virtuoso guitar playing. They are often compared to greats such as Richard & Linda Thompson and Fairport Convention from the Sandy Denny era. Americana UK described them as "our version of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings".

The duo have been playing together for 20 years, combining harmony vocals, guitars and clawhammer banjo. They have perfected their sound, a blend of folk, blues and country, in hundreds of concerts across Europe and the UK. They were members of the "Willard Grant Conspiracy", contributed a song to the Jackie Leven tribute album "The Wanderer" and were listed as an outstanding British Americana band by "No Depression" magazine.
