Jordan Aikin and Quercus with Support from Kari MacLeod and Memphis Gerald
Jordan Aikin and Quercus are a contemporary folk powerhouse hailing from the vibrant city of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Diverging from traditional acoustic sounds, they've embraced a bold new direction, infusing their music with the electrifying energy of electric guitars, bass, and drums, complemented by a dynamic frontline of bagpipes, accordion, and whistle. At the helm is composer Jordan Aikin, whose distinctive style propels contemporary folk music into uncharted territory. With a mission to intertwine the traditional melodies of their upbringing with a broader musical palette, they craft kaleidoscopic arrangements that span a spectrum of influences, redefining the folk music experience for a new generation. The ensemble, comprising Jordan Aikin on bagpipes and whistle, Heather Ferrier on accordion, Alasdair Paul on guitar, Bevan Morris on bass, and Adam Stapleford on drums, forms a tight-knit craic team of musicians. Together, they breathe life into Aikin's compositions, drawing inspiration from his personal connections and weaving tales of bygone eras with a contemporary edge, ablaze with passion and vitality. Jordan Aikin and Quercus invite you to embark on a musical journey like no other, where tradition meets innovation, and every note resonates with the spirit of adventure.
