Salt House

Share The Light is a joyful, peaceful and resonant journey of song and gathering, weaving together a spirit of community and light in the dark.

Salt House have been a mainstay on the folk scene for over a decade. The band’s reputation as thoughtful and innovative interpreters of both old ballads and contemporary songs has been solidified with acclaimed album releases and extensive touring. Described as a "gentle, lulling delight" by The Guardian, Salt House blend heartfelt vocal and instrumental interplay, offering listeners a moment of reflection and connection.

New songs that sound like they’ve always been here, ancient ballads woken up. Poems given melodies they’ve long deserved.

Salt House's sound is influenced by the landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, Northumberland and Shetland, the respective homes of band members Ewan MacPherson (vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Anna Hughes (vocals, fiddle, viola, tenor guitar) and Jenny Sturgeon (vocals, keys, guitar). They incorporate their natural surroundings into the fabric of the music that speaks of a shared love of place, people, and evolving tradition.

Share The Light is a joyful, peaceful and resonant journey of song and gathering, weaving together a spirit of community and light in the dark. For this tour the band bring together songs for the winter that reflect both old ballads and fresh compositions, all delivered with a warmth that invites listeners into a shared space of connection and hope. Share The Light acts like a lantern in the long nights, illuminating our common experience and reminding us that even when winter feels cold and dark, coming together can generate its own glow and quiet anticipation for the returning of the light.
