Seattle Folklore Society: The Askew Sisters
$12-30
English folksingers Hazel and Emily Askew, the Askew Sisters, are kicking off the Seattle Folklore Society's Fall concert season with an online concert on Saturday Oct 2nd. Hazel's distinctive voice and prowess as a top player on the melodeon, concertina, and harp has seen her performing as a folk duet with her sister as the Askew Sisters, acclaimed group Lady Maisery, and early music group The Artisans, with whom she has played at Buckingham Palace, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and live on BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show and Essential Classics. Her roots in, and renditions of, traditional English folk tunes carry on the tradition to a level of integrity reminiscent of English folk icons such as Martin Carthy.
The broadcast will take place at 7pm Pacific.
