Forest and the Gardener started as an acoustic duo in South West England and have since evolved as an international band.  Forest and the Gardener effortlessly blend a range of musical styles from folk, rock and blues through to electronic that will leave you wanting more.   Aurelea is the lead singer and songwriter, whose vocals are deep, soulful, authentic and haunting.  'The Gardener' represents the different musicians who collaborate with Aurelea to create and produce the music - because Music is an Ecosystem.

Aurelea has also worked with various producers in the South West (Ant Clark and Alex Lane), creating an impressive portfolio of original music that spans an eclectic array of musical genres. 

Forest and the Gardener's first album, The Beginning of Something, is a collaboration between Aurelea and Steve Fedorenko (based in Illinois, USA).  Steve has over 40 years’ experience as a guitarist, pianist, sax player and producer. 

Forest and the Gardener has its second album waiting in the wings, Surreptitiously Drawn. The forthcoming EP Upon A Star and an early release version of Surreptitious Drawn are both available on Soundcloud (see links below).
