Roary sings traditional and original folk songs, both a capella and accompanied by guitar, as well as occasionally using a loop pedal to create more complex soundscapes. Their music blends a folky sound with up-to-date lyrics that challenge audiences on current issues. From emotive yet well-researched environmental songs to raucous audience participation numbers about lesbian pirates, their music is sure to have you thinking and singing along in equal measures!
