The Foreign Landers are mandolinist David Benedict, who grew up in South Carolina, and Tabitha Agnew Benedict, who started playing 5-string banjo at a young age in her homeland of Northern Ireland. Watch them performing Garden, taken from their forthcoming debut album Travelers Rest.
Cup O’Joe have all bases covered…Be it banjo to bass, vocals to violin, every phrase and fill is a complete work in itself. If Americana and Bluegrass is a descendant of Irish and Ulster Scots music, then Cup O’ Joe have brought it home and taught it a lesson.
Watch Northern Ireland-based sibling trio and BBC Young Folk Award nominees ‘Cup O’Joe’ performing ‘Till I met You’, an original song that will be on their upcoming album. It’s also our Song of the Day.
