White Sail are Jane Stockdale, Sarah Dean and Chris Bartram.
With a glorious melding of harmony vocals & guitars, White Sail are blessed to have three strong songwriters and lead singers, creating an identity that is uniquely identifiable by sublime vocals, great musicianship and song craft. All three are multi-instrumentalists adding mandolin, Celtic harp, Appalachian dulcimer, schruti box, trumpet, flute, woodwind, percussion & hand drums into the mix. The trio perform their own material at gigs and festivals, in the UK and abroad. Taking their inspiration from nature, history & heritage, they write about love, life, the land and the sea. The stories are told with passion and sublime musicality. The songs are set against soundscapes that are joyous, driving and vibrant and at times, gentle and mesmeric. They also weave their unique magic on the contemporary & traditional.
August of 2021 saw the band release their second EP 'THIS GREAT OCEAN' to great acclaim...causing one reviewer to write..."the combined talents of Jane Stockdale, Chris Bartram & Sarah Dean are truly incredible, this is music that is good for the heart and the soul, a tonic we all need these days - wonderful stuff!"
Sell out tours in 2021 and 2022 supporting and collaborating with the legendary Hothouse Flowers front man Liam Ó Maonlaí have seen the band grow from strength to strength. This is a band on the rise, building and receiving well deserved praise from audiences and fellow musicians alike.
'THIS GREAT OCEAN' and the first EP 'To The Blue' and Single 'WinterTide' are available on CD and Download.
"White Sail are rooted in the music of the people and the music of the land. There is a heart driven energy in the way they share their music and songs. I had the pleasure of touring with them two years in succession. We made a lot of music together venturing in to the unknown"
