BIO
Zoe Heselton is a British-born poet, songwriter, guitarist, and singer based in Strasbourg. Her music – steeped in traditional, folk, blues, and flamenco influences, spoken word poetry, and a wide range of eclectic and experimental inspirations – is both intimate and vibrant. Performed with a fierce yet sensitive electric guitar, her music moves between vulnerability and power, exploring themes of darkness and healing. Moving between melody and dissonance, her songs are litanies for survival, poems of tenderness and rage.
