Dryadic's virgin voyage to Manchester, please come out to join the fun and welcome them!
Emerging Bristol & Gloucestershire queer, alt-folk agitators, Dryadic deliver a tight, infectious blend of rootsy folk with a melodic pop flair on strings and keys, peppered with hearth soaring vocals, and vibrant fiddle licks.
Described by BBC INTRODUCING as,
"an amazing dynamic folk band...bringing feminine protest through the dreamier side of music…”. 'Rainbow Family’, the wistful, heart-stopping a heartfelt single and empowering anthem celebrating chosen families, queer community and resilience of misfits, and was added to the BBC Introducing West and Orbital playlist, garnering rave reviews. Their latest single, Mansplain, is still hoovering up the hype, following sharply in it’s footsteps;
LOUD WOMEN say:
“‘Mansplain’ is an unapologetically queer anthem drenched in luscious fiddle hooks and lavish harmonies - a funny, in-your-face but poignant takedown of those dreaded unsolicited opinions that are frequently hoisted upon us.”
PLASTIC MAGAZINE calls it:
“An epic slice of their meaningful musical output with feminist folk-pop bite.”
Dryadic's distinctive sound and connected live show command the audience with tenacious singalong hooks delivered straight from the heart, backed up by epic layered harmonies, raw energy, emotion and stage presence. Feel-good, rousing rhythms underpin candid, humorous lyrics reflecting lead singer and songwriter Zora McDonald's passions, beliefs and politics. Expect foot-stomping feminist protest songs and travelling folk tales, to dreamy epic ballads where the five string fiddle and double bass like to do-si-do in the audience.
Dryadic have captivated audiences at venues and Festivals across the UK, including Glastonbury's Avalon, Brighton Pride, Hackey Empire, Stroud's Subscription Rooms, Exeter Phoenix and Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival. With performances alongside folk luminaries such as Grace Petrie, O'Hooley & Tidow, and Heather Peace, Dryadic's presence is both magnetic and purposeful, engaging listeners through both the music and inclusive atmosphere created at every show.
