Juliette Lemoine & Chris Amer
Two exceptional and accomplished new voices on the Scottish music scene, Juliette Lemoine (cello) and Chris Amer (tenor guitar) together explore traditional Scottish music with originality, energy and depth. Their live performances are an immersive dialogue characterised by rich emotional colour, close interaction and vibrant spontaneity. Recent highlights include their headline performance at Celtic Connections 2024, performing at London Jazz Festival 2024, and supporting folk supergroup LAU at Kings Place, London 2024.
Juliette & Chris are delighted to be members of Live Music Now as of 2025, and look forward to creating new links with communities across Scotland. LMNS is an important step in their growth as a duo, and they are excited to bring high quality live performances to new spaces and audiences.
What They Play
Juliette and Chris have a passion for exploring Scottish traditional music, and continue to gather a repertoire of tunes which are rooted in the real stories of people and places. As performers and improvisers, the duo love using traditional melodies as the basis for musical exploration, allowing them to respond and adapt to varied contexts and audiences.
Their repertoire spans tunes from 18th century Scotland right up to contemporary bluegrass melodies. Their varied backgrounds in jazz and classical music also feature in performances, with the duo equally at home playing jazz standards and popular melodies. In each performance they carefully select their material, aiming to play repertoire that the audience can engage with whilst also introducing new music.
Juliette and Chris look forward to sharing music through Live Music Now Scotland, enriching and being enriched by the communities they work with.
