About this Event

Rain of Animals with Jacob Jolliff

The euphonious collaboration between mandolinists Jacob Jolliff and Rain Of Animals (Pepita Emmerichs- fiddle, mandolin & Theodore Barnard- guitar) brings together an explosive mix of their shared musical loves including bluegrass and irish/scottish traditions through the lense of an improvised spirit. After a spontaneous week of jamming around Glasgow and at Shetland Folk Festival in early 25’, the trio were inspired to continue their travels and music making with a combination of their own original material and traditional songs and tunes. All three members have toured prolifically with their own projects (Jacob Jolliff Band, Oh Pep!, Wire & Wool, Good Guy Hank)  as well as being in demand session musicians for the likes of Bela Fleck, Yonder Mountain String Band, Tony Trischka (Jacob), Fanny Lumsden, Wayward Jane, Luke Plumb (Pepi) and Barry Nisbet, Harry Bird, Stereo Naked (Theo) and it’s with this plethora of musical experiences that they will approach this adventurous new project.
