Биография

Ethereal vocals, poignant melodies and stirring lyrics describes Glasgow based award winning nu-folk musician, Zoë Bestel, hailed as one of Scotland’s most fascinating young singer-songwriters. As well as numerous BBC radio performances, Bestel has captivated audiences across Denmark, Germany, Finland, Norway, and the Czech Republic, with many festival appearances including Orkney Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, and Celtic Connections. With plans to self-release a third album through crowdfunding, Bestel is enthusiastic to share her new writing which she claims is more self reflective than previous work. “The past four years have been a journey of discovery to unearth who I am as a person, as with all people in their early twenties”. The album is set to explore themes of mental health, guilt surrounding heartbreak, and modern folk tales of the elusiveness of a creative spirit. Alongside other new material, she will be performing her anticipated new single, 'Utopia', following its release on November 11th.
