His debut album “I Would Not Live Always” was released on Rough Trade imprint River Lea Records in 2020, earning rave reviews and winning 2 awards at the RTE Folk Awards. His second album "Look Over the Wall, See the Sky" has picked up where his debut left off, a bold and singular testimony that has won a nomination for Choice Album of the Year. The critical acclaim John enjoys is in no small part thanks to his uncanny ability to masterfully unpick traditional songs and rearrange them with an emotional force. They float in a surreal space between the past and the present, the analog and the digital, between love and tragedy.The unconventional use of instruments and jagged arrangements gives the work a magnetism by drawing you into its curious orbit of experimental folk. Look Over The Wall, See The Sky is a re-imagining of traditional Irish music: powerful, hopeful and free. Cave Cricket is the moniker of Portland based Kira Sassano (she/they) since 2011. Using modular synthesizers, samplers and a plethora of instruments and effects pedals, the sounds of Cave Cricket can range from ambient drone folk to electronic dance to noise improvisations. Cave Cricket songs are meant to be encouraging, healing spells for the listener, touching on themes of love, big witch energy, oneness with nature, feminist strength, living with the weight of grief and late stage capitalism. Performances are immersive, often incorporating silk fan dancing and enlisting the audience for hand percussion participation. The last release, titled “The World” came out in July 2022 on Bud Tapes, a local tape label. You can find Cave Cricket as @kiracricket on Instagram and stream “The World” on Bandcamp.
