Bess Atwell

Atmospheric indie-folk from one of the UK’s most compelling emerging singer-songwriters.

Atwell’s songwriting moves beyond the singer-songwriter tradition, unfolding through spacious, slow-building arrangements, textured instrumentation and subtle electronics that give scale to her intimate, poetic songcraft.

Shaped by hushed intensity and emotional clarity, she’s become a seasoned touring artist and writer. Her breakthrough third album, Light Sleeper, produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, led to sold-out headline shows worldwide, a debut appearance at Glastonbury Festival and growing critical recognition. Drawing from across her catalogue, alongside new material, this concert offers an early glimpse of music from her fourth studio album, set for release later this year.
