Josephine Foster

Experience an afternoon of spellbinding contemporary original folk with acclaimed American singer-songwriter Josephine Foster, whose dreamlike blend of traditional and experimental music has captivated audiences for nearly three decades. Support comes from Calder Valley favourite dbh, a masterful fingerpicker carving his distinct own path, with ambient-folk selections from DJ Magpahi setting the mood throughout the afternoon.

Josephine Foster

Few artists inhabit the space between folk tradition and dreamlike experimentation quite like Josephine Foster. The American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has spent the best part of three decades creating mesmerising music that is at once delicate, eccentric, and deeply moving.

As a celebrated figure within the New Weird America movement, Foster arrives at Hebden Bridge Trades Club with a matinee performance that invites audiences into a world where time, memory, and imagination beautifully intertwine.

dbh

A finger picker that knows about the blue notes but doesn’t fall into clichés. He brings us warmth, and melancholy intertwined into his beautifully understated Calder Valley guitar-soli.
