Abel & Eade are an Exeter based Folk/Americana duo featuring singer-songwriters Rosie Eade (UK) and Randy Abel (USA). As a duo, they combine their love of Transatlantic Americana, Folk and Blues. They released their debut album ‘Hope & Anchor’ in autumn last year which features a great cross-weave of traditions and influences which gives them a wide appeal. Try and see them live if possible as they have a mini-tour planned for this spring which includes a number of Anchor-related pubs (see dates below).
Watch them performing the well-known American folk song Wayfaring Stranger, the final track on their album.
The duo met in China in Dec 2016 where they began performing as an occasional Americana duo around Beijing. They both have many years of experience playing gigs and festivals with their own bands (The Randy Abel Stable in China and The Rosie Eade Band in the UK). Randy visited the UK in mid-2017 to guest with the Rosie Eade Band at a number of summer festivals. Randy moved to the UK in early 2018 at which point the duo “Abel & Eade” was properly formed.
