Cinder Well, the experimental folk project of songwriter Amelia Baker, elevates traditional folk music into something ethereal. Her music drifts between the hazy California coast where she grew up, and the wild coast of western Ireland that she’s come to love. This show will also include special guests Cumberland Honey.

“...an astonishingly powerful piece of work that seems to have been conceived in uncertainty but realised with the supreme assurance of one of the most consummate songwriters around. ... This is the new high lonesome for a modern era” —Folk Radio UK

Coming home to California from Ireland, where pandemic quarantine had been very intense, Baker spent some time “reclaiming her creativity” — writing songs, collaborating with other musicians, and experimenting with guitar tunings to push past a sense of being “stuck.”

The folklore of the old ways still looms in her mind, now tinged with the kind of growth that comes from returning to your roots.

Cinder Well’s brand-new album, Cadence, moves beyond the minimalism of her earlier work, with brighter colors and deeper textures that let her voice soar. It speaks to the turbulent tides of life and the duality of two beloved homes that are oceans apart.

Baker’s time in Ireland was well spent, and you'll hear Irish echoes in her songs. She holds a Master’s Degree in Irish Traditional Music Performance from the University of Limerick, where she studied fiddle with masters of the Irish tradition including Siobhan Peoples and Martin Hayes.
