A can't miss concert at Swallow Hill tonight!
"Distance Walk came together as part of what we thought was going to be a one-off at Swallow Hill back in 2019," explains the band's banjo player, Barry Osborne, who works in the marketing department at."It was a folky project where we were doing a singer-songwriter gig. In between songs at rehearsal, we'd kind of jam out a bit. It was a mix of instruments including fiddle, guitar and banjo, but our bandmate Niki [Tredinnick] asked if she could bring her clarinet.
"We played that first show and it went great, then we also played a fun show in March of 2020, which was right before the world shut down," he recalls."It was at theon a Saturday night and we got this really cool response that I wasn't expecting, so we decided to keep the group going even through COVID. During the pandemic, I started writing songs that we were able to record one by one in a studio.
"Last year it was hard to gig as a full act, so Olivia and I did a lot of duo shows that were fun, but this fall we've all been able come out and do full-band performances," he says."It's been a blast. Our sound is familiar, but also different enough so that people take notice. I play a traditional style of banjo, and I've really learned that form. In my twenties, I played in rock bands and wrote my own songs.
Michel, Osborne's banjo-plucking counterpart in Fables, describes his group as an"apocalyptic folk quintet" that enjoys blending unlikely influences.
