This is New-Folk, and this trio’s unique sound is captivating audiences across the UK, blending modular hooks and minimalist forms with traditional rhythms. Tarren is gaining a reputation for tight musicianship and intricate arrangements, all played through a playful prism that reflects the character of the artists and takes the listener to emotional heights.
Original and traditional material is expertly arranged by this trio of musicians who are creating music that moves and excites people. Tarren is leading folk music to a new place, while keeping the pulse of traditional dance at its heart.

Tarren is made up of Bristol-based artists Sid Goldsmith (Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith, Awake Arise), Alex Garden (The Drystones, Harriet Riley & Alex Garden: Sonder) and Danny Pedler (Pedler // Russell). They combine cittern and concertina, fiddle, and accordion to create new, dynamic English Folk music.

“Simply an excellent Folk trio” “Thrilling” – **** Songlines
“A Mini Folk Supergroup” – Tradfolk
“This new album (Outside Time)… further establishes them as a new and exciting act of the Folk scene with their own unique sound” – **** The Morning Star
“The sounds of fiddle and viola, cittern and English concertina, and accordion and hurdy gurdy have rarely sounded better, nor as much fun, as they do here – a testament to the talents of the trio and a confident and welcome signifier that English folk music is in very safe hands”.  Folk Radio UK
“Tarren’s music feels traditional, but also fresh and original. It’s joyful, but with deep sensitivity. A freshness that deserves to have wider appeal”.  Folking.com
