Rain of Animals

Rain Of Animals is the euphonious collaboration between Pepita Emmerichs (Oh Pep!) and Theodore Barnard (Wire & Wool) and their love of all things mandolin, fiddle, guitar, harmony vocals, bluegrass, oldtime, swing, tunes and songs. Spanning soulful originals to arrangements of classics and gems of rarities you wish you had discovered earlier, their sound is both new and old, unique in it's instrumental wizardry and musical integrity all at once. Steeped in a passion for acoustic music, the duo formed after an impromptu jam in a legendary Melbourne Irish bar, and in this vein have continued to perform, write and tour together since 2018.

Bluegrass, oldtime and traditional inspired original music. Songs and tunes on mandolin, fiddle, guitar and harmony vocals played with expressive and soulful virtuosity.
