Grounded Thread is a Liverpool-based quartet performing original music for guitar, cello, double bass and tap percussion. Composed by bassist Pablo Sonnaillon and guitarist Alex McDowall, their work blends jazz harmony, folk textures and intricate rhythm, placing tap dance within the ensemble as a fully integrated percussive voice.
Velvet cello arrangements, resonant bass lines and lyrical guitar writing intertwine with the rhythmic precision of tap percussion, creating a performance that is both musically rich and visually captivating.
Moving between folk airs, driving grooves and unexpected sonic turns, Grounded Thread presents a distinctive acoustic sound world where rhythm flows between body and instrument.
