When friends gently encouraged Jasmine Watkiss and Zoe Wren to sing together one day in Ely market square, they probably couldn’t have guessed that it would be the beginning of an enduring duo. Jasmine and Zoe have been writing songs and singing together as Americana band Roswell Road ever since.
The London-based duo’s multi-instrumental, harmony-infused sound has been likened to Fleetwood Mac and The Indigo Girls. In only their first year together, Jasmine and Zoe won Purbeck Rising (Purbeck Valley Folk Festival). As well as UK gigs, they have toured in France and Germany and appeared at Folk Alliance International in Montreal.
They are currently working on their debut album with acclaimed songwriters and producers The Dunwells (Sessions regulars will remember the Leeds-based brothers performing on King’s Somborne Village Hall stage earlier this year). Don’t miss this chance to see ‘A duo whose voices combine to create a seamless flow of rich, harmonic beauty’ (Americana UK).
Roswell Road perform at the Somborne Sessions in King’s Somborne Village Hall on Saturday 8 November 2025, with doors opening at 7.30pm for 8pm. Tickets are priced at £16 in advance from www.ticketsource.co.uk/sombornesessions or £18 at the door on day of performance (subject to availability).
King’s Somborne Village Hall is just off the main A3057 road, which runs through the village. The postcode is SO20 6PP.
