Abel & Eade
UK-based singer-songwriter duo -- English/American alt. country

As Powerfolk duo Abel & Eade, singer-songwriters Rosie Eade (UK) and Randy Abel (USA) bring together old songs, new songs, and stories that cross the oceans and back again, combining their love of Transatlantic Americana, Folk and Blues. Their narratives are set to a background of traditional country guitar playing and harmony singing, but with a gritty edge in places, inspired by (& sometimes covering) the likes of Johnny Cash, June Carter, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.

Upon meeting in China in 2016, Rosie and Randy built a spirit bridge between their contentious homelands via traditional Blues, Country and Honky-tonk. Despite being eternally, hilariously separated by a common language, America and Britain yet managed to spawn the roots-infused sounds which gnarled & entwined—rose upon briar and briar upon rose —into the knotty acoustic cluster that would electrify the 20th Century! Being rooted in the 21st, Rosie and Randy speak glorious harmonies to and from these traditions with utmost passion and a bonny measure of earthy grit. Craftsperson-like, innit y’all?

Gigged regularly in Norwich in the late 1980's. A twenty-eight year hiatus followed by occasional gigs since 2017.

Folk Pixie singing out her love of folk, rock and thrashing her old nylon strung guitar behind stories of people, places, and gin.

Rosie Eade "Folk-Pixie", "An appealing touch of English folk influences ... clear and sonorous", (Bluesbunny, 2018). Inspired by Kate Bush and The Who as much as Steeleye Span, Rosie sings stories of people, places, and gin, written over many years gigging solo around the country, from a party in a field to Glastonbury’s Avalon Café, arranged around her love of folk, rock and thrashing her old nylon strung guitar. Her new album "Folk Pixie" celebrates her roots as a solo acoustic-folk performer with songs from the beginning of the journey to her most recent creations (to be released May 2020). "Sonically superb" (BunkFest Main Stage, 2016). "A confident and punchy acoustic rock presence", (Rock-n-Reel, 2016).

"sprightly and pleasing blend of contemporary singer-songwriter and folk stylings." Rock-n-Reel, 2013.

"enough presence and power ... to raise the dead." folkwords.com, 2012.
