Sap Line with Charlotte Rae — Folk trio and Soft Pop duo

Sap Line blends traditional music with a fresh energetic approach and lyrical 3-part harmonies. Charlotte Rea, soft pop duo.

Sap Line

With their sound firmly rooted in the music of New England & Maritime Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and Appalachia, Sap Line blends these connected traditions to explore a rich palette of harmonic possibilities.  The trio adds a fresh and youthful flavor to their arrangements of energetic jigs and reels, lyrical 3-part harmony singing, and foot-stomping Old Time favorites.  Together, Sap Line taps into the legacy of musicians who have mentored and inspired them, sharing the joy of traditional music in dynamic, high-spirited performances.  

Sap Line is Old Time fiddler Fiona Stowell, singer-songwriter, guitar, and mandolin player Grace Martin, and New England piano and clawhammer banjo player Emmett Stowell. Past performances include Catamount Arts' First Night and Cabot Arts' Twelfth Night, Adamant Community Club, Middlebury Community Music Center, Brownington Ceilidh Club, Burlington City Arts, and the Feast & Field Concert Series. Festivals include Sutton Traditional Fiddle Festival (2024, Québec) and Fête de Mai (2023, Québec) and Club Passim’s Campfire Festival (2023, Boston).

Charlotte Rae is the voice of soft pop you’ve been waiting for. She writes for herself and those who have a familiarity with heartbreak and sadness.

Her journey is only just beginning:)
