Jonas and Jane - Folk Americana
Brought together by a shared love of Americana Music, it was on a trip to Texas when UK-based Charlie Jonas and Katherine Jane first discovered their mutual passion for Bluegrass music which has moulded them into the harmony driven and bluegrass influenced folk duo they are today.
They've since released three records and toured across Texas, Colorado and Arizona as well as the UK. They’ve also played many UK festivals including Cambridge Folk Festival, Maverick Americana and the main stage at Carfest where they played to over 35,000 people following a live performance of their song "Whispered" on the Chris Evans BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

FIND IT / PLAY IT
Unlock the creation in Everyday Objects: A Creative Sound Making Workshop!
Get ready to embark on a unique auditory adventure in our fun and vibrant sound-making workshop. We'll prove that musical magic can be created from the most unexpected sources. An old box and some rubber bands, drumsticks, bouncing balls, and a whole lot of imagination - these seemingly ordinary items will transform into your very own orchestra.
You (8 - 14 years old) will dive into the world of sound, exploring the creative potential of found, discarded, and repurposed everyday objects. We'll start by modifying these objects to unveil their hidden musical talents, and then, the real fun begins as we play around and craft a 15-minute performance. Parents and caregivers are invited to witness the enchanting results of our explorations.
Don't miss this opportunity to let your creativity shine through sound. Join us and let's make music out of the everyday!
