ABOUT US

​

Ian Tompkins, English, born in Dartford, singer songwriter. Liloomi, French, born in Lyon, singer, percussionist and author. A beautiful meeting, a beautiful love story with the same desire, that of sharing their musical universe. He has been playing music since childhood, playing both guitar and bass in different bands and duos. Liloomi played as a percussionist for 12 years in various Brazilian and African music groups. She has always loved the world of folk, from Damien Rice to Jason Mraz. Both share the same love of acoustic folk music and it was only natural that they should create this duo, in 2016, BlueStone&OneFeather.

The voice of Ian Tompkins, warm and powerful, sincere, is in perfect union with the soft and clear voice of Liloomi, who accompanies him, in total harmony, all in subtlety to merge with him, and become one. Just a guitar, two voices and a few small percussions, it's undoubtedly the most difficult exercise, but one that they never let show. This is what makes them a very special duo here, in the south of France. Their universe lies between American and English folk, with a very personal touch of their two shared cultures. They cover folk and pop titles, but adapt them to their universe and their voices in total harmony. They only see music as a sharing, an exchange, a passage of emotions. It is said of them,  "it's a jewel, a diamond in the pure state...A captivating folk duo...which will inevitably take you in", they deliver a powerful message of truth. Folk sounds, borrowed from various influences, Damien Rice and Ryan Adams, or even John Denver, and Radio Head make a singular ensemble. Their personal composition project never leaves them, they released the EPs, Billy the Kid in 2018, Shhh its Christmas in 2019, Gotta Run Gotta Hide in 2021, Revolution in 2021, and the latest title, Fight Them with Love 2023. 2024 will see the release of two albums, a collection of adapted and all personal covers, and an album of compositions. A summary of this life journey spent together. They will go on the road to meet their audience and share this new opus. A trip in preparation, their world to share, lives to meet, a project that will take on its full meaning, conveying emotions.
