FROM THE WHITEHOUSE PRESENTS: LUNATRAKTORS & DAN WHITEHOUSE

Song, rhythm, folk, spoken word and improvisation woven into one distinctive evening.

Poster for FROM THE WHITEHOUSE PRESENTS: LUNATRAKTORS & DAN WHITEHOUSE

Lunatraktors (broken folk) and Dan Whitehouse (singer-songwriter) weave together ancient folk song, contemporary songwriting, improvisation, spoken word, movement, percussion, multi-instruments and storytelling in a collaborative performance that reaches beyond a conventional double bill.

Lunatraktors are choreographer and percussionist Carli Jefferson (she/her) and vocalist and researcher Clair Le Couteur (they/them). They rework Anglo-Celtic traditional music through vocal harmony, percussive dance, acoustic beats, analogue synth, whistles and bass accordion. Primal, playful and theatrical, they approach folk music as performance art.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Dan Whitehouse (he/him) continues to renew, reinvent and reimagine. Over a career spanning more than two decades, the acclaimed Black Country artist has evolved from the introspective acoustic singer-songwriter of his early solo records into a restless, genre-defying collaborator and pioneering “documentary songwriter”, combining emotionally rich songs with spoken word, storytelling and improvisation. Dan will be joined by singer Molly Rymer on backing vocals.
