Tarren was formed in 2022. From an old Welsh word meaning small hill, this band is composed of Sid Goldsmith (cittern and vocals), Alex Garden (fiddle), and Danny Pedler (accordion).[4] The group combines cittern and concertina, fiddle, and accordion to create their music. To date, the band has released one studio album.[5][6]
Releases and performances
The band Tarren released their first studio album Revel in 2022. The album received critical acclaim from Folk publications. The musical trio expertly arranges original and traditional material to produce rich, joyous music that draws the listener in, weaving intricate themes throughout tunes and songs that have the pulse of traditional dance at their heart.[7]
It was announced that Tarren's second album Outside Time will be released in September 2024.[8]
