Aidan VanSuetendael

Aidan VanSuetendael is a Nashville-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose upcoming debut solo album marks a bold departure from her roots in traditional music. Produced by Maya de Vitry of The Stray Birds and recorded at The Tractor Shed with a stellar lineup of collaborators, the album is an atmospheric and introspective collection that blends emotive storytelling with experimental textures.

Prior to her solo career, VanSuetendael played banjo and sang in Bill and the Belles, an internationally touring, genre-bending folk quartet. The band (including Kalia Yeagle, Kris Truelsen, and Andrew Small) hosted the PBS TV show “Farm and Fun Time,” touring heavily across the USA, Canada, UK, and Ireland. With the band’s decision to end touring in 2023, VanSuetendael embraced a new chapter—immersed in songwriting and banjo sessions in Nashville while fixing up an old house and tending to her garden and flock of ducks and chickens. Drawn from deeply personal explorations of relationships, travel, heartbreak, and spirituality, her debut record is imbued with vivid imagery and poetic symbolism—a reflection of VanSuetendael’s lifelong love and study of poetry, as well as her grounding in traditional music.
