Stray Local performing at Hove House Concerts

Stray Local

Hannah Lomas and Jamie Rowen – Stray Local – a superb duo from Wilmington in North Carolina, produced an evening full of southern charm, fine playing and some of the best, most affecting harmonies we’ve had the privilege of hosting. They mixed proper old-time music with original songs and instrumentals, played on the guitar, mandolin and keyboard. But the vocals were the biggest treat, and rarely have we heard two voices work as intimately and intuitively with each other. Great stuff. Find out more on the Stray Local website.
