Dave Gardner & Eve Gütter present their full live set as ‘Innisfree’. Weaving together poetry, Celtic & Assyrian Folk, lush melodies and harmonies, this duo both sing and play guitar, opening up spaces for the audience to get lost and found in.
Their original compositions are difficult to place within in one specific genre, but their themes of home and belonging provide a place for heartfelt contemplation, while their sonic ambience and rhythms roll the body along.

About the EP…
Their 2020 EP is called ‘Empire Unbecoming’ and is a mostly improvised sound collage of spoken word, harmonies & melodies, acoustic guitars, birds & insects, wind & water, and possibly our favorite - a synthesizer app played on a phone through a Bluetooth speaker being recorded on another phone.
Following in the spontaneous spirit of Eve’s band, ‘How ‘bout Now’, Dave & Eve recorded most of the EP in one take, outdoors, using minimal equipment to capture the essence of what the idea of Innisfree represents for them.
Having been able to embrace the hard lockdown of 2020 in abundant wilderness, Innisfree hopes to encapsulate the bright light that is around every corner of darkness, casting its shadow onto the ground we must walk if we are to embody peace and freedom.
