Rooted in the rich traditions of English and Maritime folk music, Lucy Farrell and
Shane Pendergast bring together two distinct yet complementary voices in
contemporary folk.

Lucy Farrell, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, is celebrated for her poetic
songwriting, unconventional melodies, and the crystalline clarity of her voice. Known
for her work with The Furrow Collective, Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band, and a
host of other acclaimed collaborations, Farrell has carved out a singular place in
English folk with her elegant, understated tenor guitar and viola arrangements. Her
solo work reveals a deep lyricism and a rare ability to make the strange feel familiar,
and the familiar feel extraordinary.

Shane Pendergast, hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada, carries forward a
long lineage of Maritime storytellers and songkeepers. A troubadour of the East
Coast, his plainspoken yet profound songwriting has earned him recognition at folk
festivals worldwide, as well as Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music
PEI Awards for Second Wind (2021). His 2025 release Winter Grace offers a deeply
personal reflection on the joys and hardships of life in the Maritimes.

Together, Farrell and Pendergast embody the living, breathing spirit of folk music:
rooted in tradition, yet unafraid to tread new ground. With voices that echo across
oceans, their collaboration bridges English and Canadian folk, crafting songs that are
at once intimate, timeless, and resonant.
