Chloë & Jason Roweth
“Jason and Chloe Roweth are without question two of our finest interpreters of Australian traditional folk music." - Ruth Hazleton
"Chloë and Jason interpret their material with a variety of musical styles and distinctive arrangements that enhance the music rather than getting in its way, always remaining true to the sources of the songs and their singers. With such a range of talents it’s no surprise that they have been a fixture at festivals, concerts and clubs around the country for many years and collected a few awards in the process. Along the way (including playing and recording with the band ‘Collector’) they have created a body of work that respects the tradition and keeps it alive with fresh interpretations and new creations in the same spirit." - Graham Seal, Professor of Folklore, Curtin University
“Their music is refreshingly open, spacious like the rural countryside they sing about.“ - Rootsworld Web Site, USA
"Are there any two people who have enriched Australian traditional musical and poetic life more? I don’t think so; they are the best, and are pure gold in their integrity." - Polly Garland
“Their talent and experience in the folk scene showed as they delivered a stunning performance - there is very little more to say about them that has not already been said in praise of their artistry…” - Greg Bull, Loaded Dog Folk Club
“..best night’s entertainment ever at the bottom pub.” - Tablelands Post
