“One of the most pure and beautiful folk sounds I’ve heard in a long time” – Brighton’s Finest
 “They evoke big skies and deserts in widescreen cinema with warm exposure. It’s dreamy stuff – unrushed and detailed.” - Gus Macgregor, singer/songwriter “A haunting female vocal, and a beautiful picked guitar: it’s a tried and tested formula, and one which Hickory Signals certainly exploit well…Hickory Signals are certainly a duo to watch for the future.” - Bright Young Folk Both multi-instrumentalists, Laura Ward and Adam Ronchetti accompany strong vocal melodies with guitar, shruti, flute, glockenspiel and a variety of percussion, layering sounds carefully and minimally to atmospheric effect. Laura and Adam are joined regularly in the studio and on the stage by the skilled and strings of violinist, Tom Pryor. Together they create a unique live sound and as such Hickory Signals is enjoying a busy performance schedule and a growing following.
