The act is based in Stroud near Bristol, Bath and Gloucester and play all over the South West and the UK
Dryadic boast an impressive mix up of rhythms which underpin candid, heartfelt lyrics traversing an acoustic spectrum with Eastern European influence at one end, and British trad-folk at the other. Trio is lead by singer-songwriter - Zora (vocals, guitar, piano, stomp box) and Aly (fiddle, vocals) and Double bassists George Pearson and Cula S Walkers
Dryadic's sets include old favourites from Zora's pervious festival five-piece The Tatsmiths, new collaborations and Dryadic songs, and traditional folk covers. The sumptuous harmonies melt seamlessly into bold, heart-soaring pop hooks, enthralling folk reels and stomping gypsy protest songs. A quirky, alternative and uplifting sundry! Zora, Aly and George deftly deploy acoustic guitar, fiddle, bass, dreamy melodies and four-to-the-floor stomp to bring their musings on the human condition to life, creating a captivating, magical sound that promises to ensnare the most diverse of audiences.
