Rhona Stevens

Joseph Peach

Traverse Theatre

Rhona Stevens is a songwriter, singer and guitarist, recently praised by Clash Music Magazine as a creator of "supreme indie-pop”, while Joseph Peach, described by The Scotsman as possessing "enthralling prowess and attunement", is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer best known for his work in Scottish folk music.

First coming together in 2020, the duo collaborated on a wonderfully evocative album, Fragments in Time, released in 2023. Stuck at home in Glasgow, making music was a welcome escape for Rhona and Joseph who were flatmates at the time. They soon uncovered a shared admiration for Scottish writer Violet Jacob’s poetry. Her work brims with themes of nature, place, longing, loss, grit, determination and the passing of time - all particularly salient in those uncertain pandemic years.
