THE ELEPHANT SESSIONS
Critically acclaimed band The Elephant Sessions will play an intimate show at The Tooth & Claw in Inverness tomorrow, before giving a concert at the Universal Hall, FIndhorn, on Saturday at 8pm.
Nominated as Live Act of the Year at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards 2016, the Highland-based five-piece band blend rich folk and traditional influences with rock, funk and electronica to create a unique sound.
The band has earned a well-deserved reputation for presenting lively, energetic shows throughout the UK and Europe, and have taken the festival scene by storm with appearances at Glastonbury, Denmark’s Tønder as well as a selling out a headline show at Celtic Connections 2017. Their critically acclaimed debut album, The Elusive Highland Beauty, and the follow-up, All We Have Is Now, have received rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
