Delicate, magical, heartfelt and delivered with an uncluttered naked grace
Shooting into the folk scene like a dirty tentacle, Nathalie Stern has cobbled together her own choir that can be neatly stashed in a loop pedal. Using this machine, she performs her own material as well as hacking up and stitching back together traditional Swedish folk songs that she used to sing way back in school.
Some songs consist purely of vocals that are layered harmonies; some songs have got it all: guitar, vocals, bells, rock n roll kick... Improvisation is key - the loop pedal demands it, and no two shows are ever the same.
Having performed in Canada and Switzerland as well as throughout the UK, previous gigs include supporting Daniel (A.I.U) Higgs of Lungfish, Dent May and His Magnificent Ukulele, Field Music, High Places and Alisdair Roberts, as well as headlining shows - one of which was supported by a programme of experimental film shorts influenced by Nathalie's music and made by local film makers.
This year will see the release of Nathalie's full length album and tours around the UK and Europe.
