Lou Shepherd is a rising folk singer-songwriter whose emotive voice—‘moss-soft and sun-tinged’ (Bristol 24/7, FATEA)—has confirmed her place as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging folk artists. With her compelling storytelling rooted deeply in nature and connection, Lou’s poetic lyrical perspectives, immersive soundscapes and commanding melodies cast ‘Laurel Canyon Shadows’, with the ‘quiet determination of a seedling seeking the light’. (Bristol 24/7, FATEA)

​

Brought up on the best of the British folk revival and folk sessions in the South West of England, Lou’s live performances have gained Europe-wide acclaim, having spent two years at the heart of the Amsterdam folk scene. Now back in her native West Country, Lou’s awe and wonder for nature shine through. A talented multi-instrumentalist, her lucent and effortless vocals have left a lasting impression with audiences nationwide. 

​

With her debut EP Rise scheduled for release later this year, she looks forward to bringing her ‘masterful songwriting’ (Bristol 24/7) to venues and festivals around the UK.
