A gig held at The Gallimaufry on Wednesday 22nd May. The event starts at 21:00.
Fusing the sounds of folk and neo-soul with sharp, relatable lyrics, ZENA is an exciting fresh talent on the South West music scene.
Growing up as part of a musical family with eclectic tastes, and participating in choirs and groups throughout her youth, ZENA finds power in connecting with audiences through performance. Her songs touch on a range of themes from childhood and heartbreak, to politics and society.
Inspired by artists such as Erykah Badu, Amy Winehouse, Fiona Apple and Lianne La Havas, ZENA has worked hard to develop a strong and distinctive vocal with lyrics that meditate on girlhood, womanhood and survival. With only her debut single titled ‘The Bedbugs’ out in the world, she has already performed at a variety of festivals across the South West including Valley Fest 2022 and Sidmouth Folk Festival, and venues in Bristol such as The Fleece, Thekla and The Louisiana.
In addition to her solo work, ZENA performs with South-West based band, pylø.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
