Edgelarks is a UK-based folk duo composed of Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin, whose sound is characterized by their unique blend of slide guitar, fiddle, banjo, and vocals, interwoven with a global musical influence. Debuting under the name 'Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin', their music career took off when they won the 'Best Duo' category at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2014. This accolade propelled their reputation as innovative folk musicians with a captivating live presence and superb musicianship.
With the release of their eponymous album, "Edgelarks," in 2017, the duo decided to adopt this name, which signifies their position at the musical edges, a liminal space where genre boundaries blur and creativity flourishes. Albums such as "Feather" (2019) and "Wander" (2021) explore themes of journeying and resilience, often delving into the emotional landscapes as much as geographic. Their music not only showcases tradition-inspired folk songs but also expands the genre’s scopes by embedding narratives of contemporary relevance and universal human experiences. Crafting a compelling folk lexicon, Edgelarks’ music is heralded for its artful storytelling and atmospheric soundscapes, earning them a place in the pantheon of modern folk music innovators.
