The Staves are a British folk trio composed of sisters Emily, Jessica, and Camilla Staveley-Taylor, hailing from Watford, Hertfordshire. The sisters' intimate harmonies and heartfelt songwriting have garnered them critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase since their emergence in the folk music scene. They began performing together at open mic nights in their local area and eventually crafted a distinct sound that blends traditional English folk with modern melodic elements.

Their discography showcases an evolution from the raw, stripped-back acoustic arrangements of their early work to the more expansive and experimental sounds found in later releases. Albums like "If I Was" and "The Way Is Read" highlight their collaborative spirit, working with the likes of Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and New York-based ensemble yMusic. The Staves' 2021 album "Good Woman" marked a significant chapter in their career, standing as a testament to their growth as artists and individuals amidst personal upheavals, including the loss of their mother. With a blend of vulnerability and resilience, The Staves continue to weave folk music magic, touching souls with their harmonies and storytelling.
