Three Cane Whale

Three Cane Whale... ... " a glorious adventure into new folk” (Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6 Music) Three Cane Whale is a multi-instrumental acoustic chamber-folk trio based in Bristol, UK. As intricate as a team of watchmakers, as spare as a mountain stream, uplifting and elegiac in equal measure, their music encompasses both a cinematic sweep and an intimate delicacy, in which “the aroma of muddy leaves and old nettles is almost tangible” (The Observer). Expect a stage strewn with upwards of a dozen instruments {some familiar, such as mandolin, harmonium, & acoustic guitar; some beguilingly unusual, including the eerie bowed psaltery, the baroque-esque Eb trumpet, & the delicate Finnish kantele}, allowing for some striking multiple instrumental combinations and an overall soundworld unlike any other.
