From soulful Celtic airs, wild jigs and reels, to Americana and Swedish compositions, Across the Great Divide bring a new fusion of artists and instruments not normally gracing the same stage.
This evocative and vibrant sound honours both traditional and contemporary transatlantic music and features resonator guitar, clarsach, guitar and soprano sax creating an inspiring journey on their ‘uncommon ground’.
Over time they not only got to understand the background and idiosyncrasies of each other’s music styles but took on the many challenges of seriously working musically together. Tony learning jigs, reels and all manner of arrangement on resonator guitar as Karen adding distinctive Celtic guitar style rhythms and chordal arrangements to Americana-influenced tunes. Tony’s solid background in film and music composition added an original flavour as his tunes became integral to their repertoire.
Fusing elements of traditional and contemporary Scottish, Celtic, Swedish and Americana, they have created a beautifully unique and often ethereal sound which combines haunting melodies, mesmerising songs, and dance embracing jigs and reels to transcend the sands of time.
Across The Great Divide have a core belief that music is a unifying force celebrating the diversity and fellowship of people from across the world. Join Karen, Tony and Hanna as they explore musical diversity with a unique expression that reflects their love and respect for the music.
