Around About Dusk offers a captivating blend of New Orleans jazz, European folk, and soulful blues influences, brought to life through their distinctive repertoire. Based in Bristol, UK, this original project takes listeners on a unique journey with their enchanting sound.
From vibrant European busking festivals to cosy English campfire gatherings, Around About Dusk radiates charm and authenticity. Their music intertwines mesmerising melodies and harmonies, telling tales of wonder and nature. Drawing inspiration from chanson, early jazz, and folk traditions, they create a distinctive and intimate atmosphere.
Most recently, their music has been featured on Cerys Matthews’ BBC Radio 6 show and selected as a Fresh Fave on BBC 6 Music’s Fresh on the Net.
Steve Henwood, Glastonbury Festival Stage Programmer, praised their work: “Haunting melodies, textures, and emotions from English to Eastern pastoral, with echoes of cabaret, art song, chanson & Central Europe shifting around like growing shadows. Could be a new favourite band for you…”
A review of their performance at the Bristol Folk Festival in B24/7 described them as: “Two sides of the Atlantic slide beautifully around one another, like drinks on the bar of a Mississippi steamer.”
