Alt folk with a groovy and ethereal edge
“One to watch from the South West” Charlie Ashcroft, Amazing Radio
Cornwall UK based Wake the River spans multiple generations in their ages and influences inviting a fresh fusion with delicate, stand-out lead vocals from Freeborn, sensitive instrumentation, layered harmonies and irresistible grooves.
Lead vocalist Freeborn and songwriter Woodburn explore a blend of folk, blues, indie and pop genres, always searching for where the playful and the ethereal meet. Multi-instrumentalists Height and Seddon add to the sonic mix, their mastery of folk styles and grooves from around the world.
Regulars on BBC introducing, RTÉ Radio 1 (Lilian Smith) and Amazing Radio the band has been live in session on Radio X with John Kennedy. Wake the River has played at The Bedford in London and the Eden Project – and, we’re delighted to welcome them to Ashburton Arts Centre.

See Access, Tickets & Finding Us for more about why there are three ticket prices, plus other useful info about coming to events at Ashburton Arts Centre: getting here, parking, loos, PA tickets, etc.
* We usually have three ticket prices – please pay what you can. If you can pay the full price, that’s great. If choosing a cheaper ticket allows you to come to more things, then please do! Ticket receipts are split between the artists (it’s usually their livelihood!) and the arts centre (keeps the place going). Except on the rare occasions when we have a sellout gig on our hands, it’s always better to have someone here in the audience than an empty seat, so genuinely, please pay whatever you can.
