Talisk are redefining the sound of contemporary folk with their explosive energy, masterful musicianship, and boundary-pushing compositions. Hailing from Scotland, the trio—Mohsen Amini (concertina), Benedict Morris (fiddle), and Graeme Armstrong (guitar)—blend traditional roots with a modern, electrifying edge, creating a sound that is as dynamic as it is deeply emotive.
Renowned for their adrenaline-fueled live performances, Talisk have captivated audiences worldwide, earning accolades including the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award and the Belhaven Bursary for Innovation in Music. Their music is a whirlwind of intricate melodies, driving rhythms, and an unmistakable chemistry that sets them apart in the folk scene.
With critically acclaimed albums like Beyond and Dawn, Talisk continue to push the genre forward, proving that folk music can be as thrilling and powerful as any other musical force. Whether on stage or in the studio, their sound is a bold and exhilarating testament to the vitality of modern folk.
