E.R Thorpe is live at Nantwich's Applestump Records on Sunday 8 March.

Raised on the blues in the place where folk music, full of rage and fragile beauty, goes back to the source,, E.R Thorpe has shaped her own evocative sound, delivering pin drop performances.

Sometimes wilfully naive, sometimes considered and precise, her choice of chords is particular and unusual and her finger picking weaves a strange atmosphere – the likes of which you'd more likely find in a Lynch film or a novel by Bolano than in the sculpted folk of her inspirations.

With a ragged edge that has more in common with Nick Cave, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey and William Blake than the obvious comparisons, she muses on nature and religion, God and the devil, good and evil, revealing both the beauty and devastation of life.

These are songs born of deep tradition, but alive in the present day, revealing and fragile, executed spare and sharp.

Emma's new album, This is Human Love, is scheduled for release in March 2026, with Applestump Records celebrating the release with a live set.
