THE LOST SONGWRITERS TOUR
A roadshow of alternative folk, dark country and experimental pop artists
In January 2025, four songwriters drifted together for a one-off show in the small Swiss village of Ins. Their contrasting takes on contemporary songwriting slotted together like a strange jigsaw puzzle and they formed a connection based on the seeds of kinship and late-night discussion. It was decided they should join forces elsewhere for more concerts to see where the journey took them …
So, the Lost Songwriters tour was born. Don’t miss these special gigs!
ADAYA (CH)
Adaya weaves spellbinding early folk-influenced songs which accompany us through the creature-filled wilderness of her Swiss homeland and broadcast poetic messages to humankind. On other days, whisked away, she provides ethereal vocal and woodwind toplines to the magnificent sound of globetrotting pagan-folk band Faun.
“Adaya reimagines folk music through the bright window of intelligent songcraft and experimental arrangements” – KLOF Mag

ADELE H (IT)
Primordial, experimental, pop songs using minimal piano and a hauntingly daring voice. An unexpectedly philosophical mind-trip directly into the emotions many of us cannot find words for. A cool, uncluttered musical breeze from the mountains of northern Italy.
"A new name overlooks the experimental Italian scene, a feminine presence that uses an ancient language of intuition and spontaneity" – Rockerilla

BOB SPRING (CH)
Dark country with a big heart. A man who lives his songs completely. Gritty melodies that balance vulnerability with rebellion. No banter is needed, let Bob’s voice and poignant songs take you down the road and into his story.
“He doesn’t need to put on a show. Bob has a touchy, full male voice with edges, and he knows what to do with it” – Echo Kollectiv News

RUSSELL JOSLIN (UK)
With a guitar style reminiscent of a grunge-soaked John Fahey, plus keening vocals which drift towards the gravitas of 16 Horsepower’s David Eugene Edwards, London-based Russell Joslin is a distinctly 21st century songwriter who is not afraid to use folk traditions to examine today's splintered society and find the connections between us all.
