Mishra are a global folk band with strong roots in U.K folk, out of which they weave a tight web of intricate, Indian-influenced original music that defies definition and has brought them awards recognition since their formation in 2017.

Kate Griffin on vocals, banjo, and dobro (The Magpies) and Ford Collier on low whistle, calabash/percussion, and guitar (BBC R2 Folk Award nominated The Drystones) are the songwriting partnership behind Mishra, drawing on their unique base of influences that encompasses folk music of the UK and America, Indian classical music, and soul to create a surprisingly accessible sound that audiences instantly connect to.

Mishra draw from a collective of musicians, and they are joined at Priddy Folk Festival this year by Alex Lyon on clarinet, bass clarinet, and vocals, whose talents extend from contemporary classical techniques to soulful harmonies.
