Røki Kilroy (Sámi Singer Songwriter from the US)

Carrying the listener on a soulful journey, Røki Kilroy’s folk songs paint a connection to the natural world, the magic and fickle, triumph and struggle. The influence of her Western, Arctic and Irish roots, lead way to a unique sound where the wild vastness of the American west, frozen solitude of Arctic fjords, and moody mist of Celtic sea shades meet in balance through ethereal vocals, eerie cadences, intricate finger style guitar and warm bass tones.

With a tour history of 30+ countries, Røki has performed solo and with talents such as Califone, Allison Russell, Charlie Parr, Bill Callahan, Darrell Scott, Elephant Revival, Guy Davis, Lukas Nelson, Izaak Opatz, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Devil Makes Three, Infamous Stringdusters, Greensky Bluegrass, Railroad Earth, Trampled By Turtles etc. She’s honored to have shared the stage with greats such as Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, EmmyLou Harris, Robert Earl Keen, Bill Kreutzmann, Del McCoury, Sam Bush, Don McLean, Richie Havens, Doc Watson and others.

Originally from Montana, Røki now resides in the Sierra Nevada mountains alongside a cast of talented psych folk songwriters- Joanna Newsom, Alele Diane, Mariee Siou, Fawn Fables, Aaron Ross and Davia.
