New Single Mansplain OUT NOW
Alt-folk agitators Dryadic are back with their boldest single yet — “Mansplain”, a no-holds-barred takedown of unsolicited opinions, overconfident egos, and beer-soaked patriarchy — all wrapped up in stomping fiddle hooks, lush harmonies, and a defiant singalong chorus you won’t forget. Out July 4th, this unapologetically queer anthem lands just in time for Pride celebrations across the UK and beyond.
Dryadic Tour Dates
Dryadic's inimitable balance of trad, new, romantic, feel-good and rousing traverses an acoustic spectrum with a folk-pop core and feisty smatterings of roots and gypsy at the edges.
Seamlessly smashing out feminist protest tracks, dreamy folk songs and unequivocally epic ballads with guitar, fiddle, keys, double bass and stomp. Rhythmical mix-ups underpin candid lyrics, heart-soaring hooks and intoxicating vocals to masterfully command the most diverse audience.
Dryadic have toured Europe, played notable stages such as Glastonbury Avalon, Chai Wallahs, Brighton Pride, Drayton Arms Theatre, Hackney Empire and is a regular at countless UK festivals. Dryadic have played with Heather Peace, Grace Petrie, O'Hooley & Tidow and duetted live with the eminent Nadine Benjamin MBE.
Current Dryadic members are leader and song-writer Zora McDonald on guitar, stomp and piano. Aly Rainey on fiddle and George Pearson on double bass.
