Tolbooth Café Concerts – The Jellyman’s Daughter

Emily Kelly and Graham Coe are Edinburgh-based duo The Jellyman’s Daughter. 

 “Somewhere between the realms of folk, bluegrass, pop, rock and chamber music,
Emily Kelly and Graham Coe let go of any sense of trepidation and go on to develop a deeply soulful,
break-neck amalgam of old-time and new age roots influences alike.” Popmatters 

Singing with an affinity and closeness that can often have audiences puzzling over who is singing which harmony line, Emily’s honeyed voice and Graham’s soft introspective tone have an almost matching vocal range, like a fantasy collab between Norah Jones and Elliott Smith. In their songs they incorporate cello, guitar and mandolin, and are often accompanied by long time pal Jamie Francis with his multi-style 5-string banjo playing. Their songs can range from a simple plaintive wisp of a feeling to complex musical endeavours.
