"The legendary Harbottle and Jonas... incredible" – BBC 6 Music
"They come over like a cosmic, contemporary Fairport Convention" – The Guardian

Partners in life and music, dynamic Devon-based duo Harbottle & Jonas are one of the most exciting acts on the UK folk circuit today. They seamlessly blend the richness of traditional folk with their own original and powerful songwriting, creating a distinct and compelling signature sound.

Blending concertina, harmonium, banjo, stomp box, acoustic guitar, and cittern – and their beautiful, closely intertwined vocal harmonies, Dave and Freya captivate audiences with every performance.

Their songs explore historical tales and personal narratives, weaving stories into their live shows that are as engaging as they are moving. Through their intimate and timeless music, Harbottle & Jonas bring people, places, and events vividly to life.

Currently touring with their latest album, Wild Goose.

"One of the finest folk duos in the country" – Mike Davies, Alternative Roots
