The Askew Sisters, comprising siblings Hazel and Emily Askew, have etched a distinct place in the folk music scene with their impassioned and skilled renditions of English folk melodies. Combining Hazel's lyrical fiddle and viola playing with Emily's expressive melodeon and concertina, their sound is both captivating and evocative of the rich traditions of English folk music. Their complementary vocal harmonies further weave an intricate tapestry of sound that has become their trademark.
With releases such as "Enclosure" (2019), "In the Air or the Earth" (2014), and "Through Lonesome Woods" (2010), The Askew Sisters have proven their ability to blend the deeply rooted heritage of folk music with contemporary sensibilities, reinvigorating and reimagining the tales and tunes of times gone by. Their music is a journey through the byways of England's history, landscape, and collective memory, brought to life by their dynamic performances and scholarly approach to their craft. As they continue to perform and record, The Askew Sisters not only honor the legacy of the folk music tradition but also play a vital role in its continuing evolution.
