Although they might resemble an American string band, complete with driving energy, tight vocal harmonies and dazzling instrumental interplay, their vibrant, transatlantic sound is deeply coloured by their surroundings; the striking natural and industrial landscapes of Northern England. This unique approach won them the title of “Best European Bluegrass Band 2018” at the prestigious La Roche Bluegrass Festival in France. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgLayers_comp-mbtkjovz\" data-hook=\"bgLayers\" data-motion-part=\"BG_LAYER comp-mbtkjovz\" class=\"MW5IWV\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bgMedia_comp-mbtkjovz\" data-motion-part=\"BG_MEDIA comp-mbtkjovz\" class=\"VgO9Yg\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mesh-id=\"comp-mbtkjovzinlineContent\" data-testid=\"inline-content\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mesh-id=\"comp-mbtkjovzinlineContent-gridContainer\" data-testid=\"mesh-container-content\"\u003e\n\u003cnav class=\"ONlyPu\" id=\"comp-jc6j56rhnavContainer\" aria-label=\"Site\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"qDaKPQ\" id=\"comp-jc6j56rhitemsContainer\" data-marginallchildren=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"comp-jc6j56rh0\" data-direction=\"ltr\" data-listposition=\"left\" data-data-id=\"bmiksl\" data-state=\"menu false  link\" data-index=\"0\" class=\"JAo9_G wixui-dropdown-menu__item rhHoTC\" data-original-gap-between-text-and-btn=\"10\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\u003ca data-testid=\"linkElement\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theoftenherd.com\/\" class=\"wIGMae\" target=\"_self\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Zw7XIs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/nav\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"comp-jc6kh3bq\" class=\"ku3DBC zQ9jDz qvSjx3 Vq6kJx comp-jc6kh3bq wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eRupert Hughes (guitar) and Evan Davies (mandolin), write songs steeped in personal experience whilst drawing from a wide pool of influences ranging from old-time to psychedelia.
