About Borders Acoustic

Borders Acoustic Duo – Stripped-Back, Powerfully Driven Americana
Acoustic duo
London
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Borders Acoustic Duo brings together the talents of guitarist and songwriter Callum Granger and lead vocalist Faith Scruton White, merging folk and blues into a bold Americana sound. Callum, who also provides harmonies and backing vocals, has been gigging as a solo artist for years. Playing guitar since age 10, he’s influenced by a wide variety of players across genres—from rock and blues to folk, country, and gypsy jazz. His passion for music led him to study at ACM Guildford, where he met Faith. Faith, originally from Gibraltar, moved to the UK in 2016. A trained vocalist, she draws inspiration from musical theatre and powerhouse female vocalists of the 80s and 90s. She also performs and arranges for the acapella group Vocal Shack, with whom she appeared in the 2023 ASDA Christmas advert directed by Taika Waititi. Together, Borders Acoustic Duo has become a notable act in the London music scene, performing at festivals and venues such as Trinity Folk Festival, Fosstival, and Vann Festival. They recorded at Metropolis Studios, releasing the EP Carolina Moon in 2017 and the album No One Else in 2018, both available on major streaming platforms. Their music has received airplay on BBC Introducing South, BBC Radio Sussex, BBC Radio Surrey, and various digital Folk and Country stations. With deep-rooted Americana influences and a captivating on-stage presence, Borders Acoustic Duo delivers a powerful live experience, resonating with audiences from intimate venues to larger festivals.

I first booked Faith and Callum to play early in 2018 and they completely stole the show! They are a fantastic live act with a great stage presence and some wonderful harmonies. I was smitten and have subsequently booked them several more times and been out to see them play at various different venues and events. They never fail to disappoint and are always such a pleasure to deal with. What can I say - I couldn't recommend them more highly

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We only have one line up option: Vocals, guitar/backing vocals

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We try to be flexible where possible. Let us know with as much notice as you can and we'll be happy to try and facilitate this for you!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

As we don't supply the PA, we wouldn't be able to provide an iPod/DJ service

How much time do you need to set up?

We can usually set up in 10 minutes or so, but would prefer 30 minutes to do a proper soundcheck ahead of performance. If you want us acoustic we can take less time setting up.

Can you roam around while you perform?

If we play acoustically we can free roam with no issues. If you would like microphones our vocalist would be able to move and our guitarist would be able to move during moments with no backing vocals, however he would need to be at a microphone for his singing.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes of course, however as we know our songs, we would be able to advise what might work best for different situations.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it or are able to learn it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
