Giant Folk is an alternative folk-jazz group led by vocalist Rowan Flack. They play mysterious folk songs, hidden and understated jazz standards and their esoteric, original compositions which are experimental and magical in nature.
Over the last few years, Giant Folk have established their own unique flair and lighthearted sensitivity by flowing between folk melodies, ambient soundscapes and contemporary jazz improvisation. Their first release, River Run was a two-track EP featuring the Scandinavian-inspired title track River Run and a Latin Bossa cover of Waters of March (Aguas
De Marcos) by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina. Since then, they have released both ‘Fish Out of Water’ and most recently in May 2023 – ‘Earth Live Sessions’ on Future Fables Records.
The band features a mix of musicians including Jack Lecomer (bass, production), Sol Grimshaw (guitar) and Sylvan Biscoe (Tenor sax). Their connection with music and nature brings them together to create a distinct textural soundscape, still holding its roots firmly in modern jazz.
