Around About Dusk

Event information

Around About Dusk are an adventurous musical project creating original songs with influences ranging from musette, New Orleans jazz and blues, old-time and European folk and roots traditions, brought to life with eclectic instrumentation and rich vocal harmonies.

Haunting melodies, tightly woven harmonies and stories of wonder, nature, and humanity, shifting around like growing shadows with echoes of cabaret, chanson, early jazz, and folk make their sound. With harmonies, macabre humour and folkloric storytelling, their music conjures the romance of old cafés, the spirit of New Orleans porches, and the intimacy of campfire songs, with touches of macabre humour and familiar folklore tales.

Their work has featured on BBC Radio 6 Music and been highlighted as a Fresh Fave on Fresh on the Net and they have been shortlisted for the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award in November 2025.

With performances at festivals including Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, and Secret Garden Party, as well as European tours such as Ballydehob Jazz Festival (IRE), Ferrara Buskers Festival (IT), and Neuchâtel Festival (CH), Around About Dusk bring a distinctive, memorable presence to every stage, enchanting audiences with a sound that is warm and unique.
