General Sherman are a group of five friends from Middlesbrough. Utilising guitars, violin, keys, glockenspiel, ukulele, percussion and flute they make warm, wonky folk music. They tackle topics such as murderous family pets, the life of a tree, neuroses, nostalgia, infant cobbling entrepreneurship, zenning in a submarine, why heathens rage furiously, and striking a ball well. They released their debut EP “Tales of Noddy’s House” on 28th December 2012 and are to release their debut album "Get Down with General Sherman" on the 6th of June.

“The five-piece play music how they want it to sound are not constrained by any traditional formulas for structure or instrumentation. The dual boy-girl vocals work together seamlessly with finger-picked guitar melodies, haunting violin and the occasional introduction of the glockenspiel.”
Rob Nichols - Evening Gazette

"A kind of skew-whiff folk constructed of shafts of dark and light. Gently arresting."
