The Emerald Dawn

About the show

The Emerald Dawn are a multi-instrumentalist, symphonic art-rock quartet known for their cinematic, atmospheric, and emotionally powerful sound. Blending elements of rock, classical music, jazz, folk, and world music, the band creates richly textured compositions that are both epic and intimate, experimental yet deeply melodic. Their music often feels like a soundtrack—painting vivid images, telling stories, and taking listeners on immersive musical journeys.

Originally formed in Edinburgh in 2010 as a duo by Tree Stewart (keyboards, flute, 12-string acoustic guitar, Roli Seaboard, HandSonic, vocals) and Ally Carter (guitar, saxophones, keyboards), the band relocated to St Ives, Cornwall in 2011 and expanded their line-up with drummer Tom Jackson. The current incarnation was completed in 2018 with the addition of David Greenaway on basses, bringing further depth and dynamic range to the band’s sound.

The Emerald Dawn have built a strong reputation on the live circuit, performing extensively across the UK, headlining multiple festivals, and appearing at the prestigious ArtRock Festival in Germany. Their performances are celebrated for their intensity, musicianship, and immersive atmosphere.

To date, the band have released six critically acclaimed studio albums and received numerous awards, establishing themselves as a significant force in modern UK progressive and art rock. Their latest release, The Land, the Sea, the Air (Volume I), launched to widespread acclaim in Octobe
