Shackleton Trio at The Canopy Theatre
THE SHACKLETON TRIO – Canopy Theatre, Hungate Church, Beccles Saturday 16th May 8.00 p.m.
Captivating songwriting and fiery tunes that combine mandolin, fiddle, guitar and banjo with powerful three part harmonies – that is the unmistakable sound of the Shackleton Trio who bring to life the stories of their native East Anglia and beyond.
One of the hardest working bands on the scene, The Shackleton Trio are gaining significant UK and International exposure, becoming an “in demand” name on the folk circuit.
The Shackleton Trio are Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin). Natural talents of the folk tradition, their self-penned material blends seamlessly with their imaginative yet authentic re-workings of traditional folk standards, influenced by British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, with a regional twist from the group's native East Anglia.
The unique, distinctive songwriting style of Georgia Shackleton, combined with the vibrant instrumental brilliance of Aaren Bennett, Nic Zuppardi and Georgia’s pure and original voice have developed and matured through four critically acclaimed albums The Dog Who Would Not Be Washed, Fen, Farm and Deadly Water, Mousehold and their latest eponymously titled release.
