Bands & Projects
Dryadic
Dryadic is a collective of top notch musicians that bring Singer & Songwriter Zora’s acoustic works to life. Hailing from the Bristol bound waterways of South West England, the sound traverses an acoustic spectrum with a British/European folk core and smatterings of roots, jazz, gypsy and pop at the edges.
Dryadic’s captivating rhythms, melodies, harmonies and hooks, underpin candid, heartfelt lyrics, riding on a silky wave of acoustic guitars, strings, pianos and acoustic bass. Performing solo, duo or with a band, Dryadic masterfully command audiences with an inimitable balance of trad, new, alternative, romantic and rousing.
