Hannah Elizabeth* (vocals/violin) and Griff Jameson** (vocals/guitar) first met
whilst touring and performing in other acts on the UK acoustic folk-roots scene,
eventually partnering to release material for the first time as a duo in 2016. Merging
their individual backgrounds of traditional folk and folk pop/rock, they have created a
stunning acoustic folk-roots duo, with original songs rich in emotive storytelling and a
harmony-driven sound featuring guitar, violin and exquisite vocals.
In constant rotation on local and national BBC Radio stations, their concrete musical
partnership as a duo was closely followed by the release of their debut album
Northern Shores & Stories in 2020 - as well as their marriage later that same year.
Elizabeth & Jameson have since become mainstays of the UK acoustic folk-roots
scene. In addition to their own extensive tour dates, the duo have opened for the
likes of Turin Brakes, Scott Matthews and Jools Holland, and have performed at
some of the UK’s biggest acoustic and folk clubs and festivals. Recent festival
highlights include Cambridge Folk Festival, The Great British Folk Festival, The
British Country Music Festival and Camp Bestival.
The duo are excited to be self-releasing their second studio album, Way Out West
this September alongside a UK-wide tour of live dates to promote their newest
material.
*Hannah Elizabeth was born and raised in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, studying music
at Royal Holloway, University of London before immersing herself in the UK folk
scene with her traditional folk trio, Said The Maiden. It was with her fellow Maidens
that Hannah performed nationally and internationally for the first time, touring with
folk legend Dave Swarbrick, playing festivals in Germany and Portugal, and
opening up for the likes of Fairport Convention, The Strawbs and Fisherman’s
Friends to name a few.
**Griff Jameson was born and brought up in the South Wales Valleys, playing his
first band gig aged 13 (£5 at The Court Of Requests pub in Merthyr Tydfil)! Moving to
Cambridge in 2011 he formed renowned folk-rock outfit, Fred’s House with his
brother Gafyn, with whom he wrote and released 3 studio albums and even toured
China for a stint in 2017. Since co-founding Elizabeth & Jameson, Griff has also
begun producing and recording music for other folk and acoustic artists.
