Bio
Hailing from the Black Shuck-haunted fenlands of East Anglia, SHEM FILLMORE explores the fascinating world of English folk music, with its many forms, facets and connections, leaving no stone unturned. With violin, 10-string mandolin, vocals, dancing wooden dolls and more...
He deep-dives into the history of the music, as well as incorporating influences and inspiration from the here and now. The mission: Roots Music for the 21st Century.
Quartet
The Shem Fillmore Quartet explores the world of English traditional music and takes it to new and exciting places, inspired by Latin American and Jazz influences picked up along the way. Little-known tunes, old classics, new compositions - from foot-stomping party folk to moody ballads. Let us take you on a journey!
“Shem Fillmore is an absolute force of nature. He is a brilliantly eccentric and virtuosic musician, and his shows are at once musically tight, entertaining and enlightening. Shem Fillmore's band has a line-up of stellar musicians, performing tight and quirky arrangements of traditional folk tunes from the UK and beyond, adding improvisation and Latin-infused grooves to the melting pot of flying folk medleys.”
