Jackie Oates

Award-winning English singer and fiddle player Jacke Oates combines the breadth of traditional British folk music with an ear cocked toward the mainstream. Her work with Rachel Unthank and the Winterset in 2005 led to a successful solo career that has yielded acclaimed efforts like Saturnine (2011), The Spyglass & The Herringbone (2015), and Gracious Wings (2022). Earthcycle, a trad folk-inflected reworking of Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Orchestra of the Swan, appeared in 2024.
