The band, comprising Ewan MacPherson, Anna Hughes, and Jenny Sturgeon, has been a mainstay on the folk scene for over a decade.
Salt House’s reputation as thoughtful and innovative interpreters of both old ballads and contemporary songs has been solidified with acclaimed album releases and extensive touring. Described as a “gentle, lulling delight” by The Guardian, Salt House blend heartfelt vocal and instrumental interplay, offering listeners a moment of reflection and connection.
‘Share The Light’ is a joyful, peaceful and resonant journey of song and gathering, weaving together a spirit of community and light in the dark. For this tour the band bring together songs for the winter that reflect both old ballads and fresh compositions, all delivered with a warmth that invites listeners into a shared space of connection and hope. ‘Share The Light’ acts like a lantern in the long nights, illuminating our common experience and reminding us that even when winter feels cold and dark, coming together can generate its own glow and quiet anticipation for the returning of the light.
