About the event
Zoé Basha is a Dublin-based musician, carpenter, and feminist. Her original pieces and traditional songs blend the pulse of American ragtime, the sway of Appalachian mountain songs, and the fervour and solemn ornamentation of Irish traditional songs. With her signature sound of playful, syncopated guitar, country fiddle, electric organ, drums, and a booming voice reminiscent of some old jazz record you can’t quite put your finger on… this, here, is a particular kind of americana– brewed in Dublin.
Her debut album ‘Gamble’ - self-released in April 2025 - was awarded ‘Folk Album of The Month’ by The Guardian, and Basha was named one of the ‘Five Greatest New Folk Acts of 2025’ by FarOut Magazine. Basha’s debut album and title track were shortlisted for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in two categories: Best Folk Album, and Best American Roots Performance.
Traveling by thumb, freight trains, and rust-bucket vans, Zoé Basha…
