The Staves are an English indie folk duo of sisters Jessica and Camilla Staveley-Taylor from Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

[3] They followed these appearances with performances at South by Southwest and a tour in March and April with Bear's Den, Nathaniel Rateliff and Ben Howard.

In July 2015, the Staves performed with Bon Iver as guest artists along with Colin Stetson, yMusic, and No BS!

The Staves joined the live line-up of Bon Iver for the latter's Asia tour in late February and early March 2016.

[10] On 24 November 2017, The Staves released The Way is Read − an album created in conjunction with the New York-based chamber music ensemble yMusic.

[15] In November 2023, the Staves announced their fifth LP, All Now, and released the title track, having previously shared another song from the record, "You Held It All".

They enjoy Guinness and are vocal in challenging tropes about sensitive wilderness-bound artists that dominate modern folk music culture.

[17] In mid 2018, the sisters' mother, Jean, a former teacher who had encouraged them to follow their dream of making music, died.
