Behind the music, Connor Botherway-Hill, Grace Leah, & Ellie Longstride come together to forge a sound that’s both timeless and fiercely original. With powerful vocals, poetic storytelling, bold guitar lines, and a dynamic rhythm section, they showcase their sonic signature: Vintage flair & contemporary grit.

Connor, a creative to his core, has lived a life surrounded by music and art. From an early age, Connor realised music to be a tangible form, became a dedicated musical archivist, and began to style his artistic identity. Connor builds chords like an impressionist implies hues, imagining gritty, yet spirited guitar lines, rich with texture and delicately embellished; the keystone of Fools & Sages.

Grace Leah transposes her alchemistic soul into musical moments, written in poetic prose and delivered with ethereal ferocity, to offer a vocal performance that is captivatingly hers. She benefits from a life lived adjacent to reality, offering a crafted portrayal of this world and its cruxes, making the real, surreal.

International Nomad, Ellie Longstride, lands in the world of Fools & Sages after a life of exploration and discovery, bringing her eclectic mix of cultures, visions, beliefs, and mantras, which manifest as a percussive powerhouse. A virtuoso behind the kit, Ellie conducts through texture and expression, imparting feel and impact for this alt-metal trio.

This is ethereal alt metal. This is Fools & Sages.
