Polly Paulusma is hitting the stage in Chesham on March 15, showcasing her new album ‘Wildfires’ and promising an unforgettable night
Chesham: Polly Paulusma is gearing up for a special performance at the Drawing Room on March 15. She’s promoting her new album, ‘Wildfires’, which drops on February 28.
This album is her sixth and features nearly two hours of folk sounds mixed with spoken-word poetry. It’s all produced by the talented Ethan Johns.
Paulusma’s music is known for its heartfelt and personal touch. In ‘Wildfires’, she explores various kinds of love, from childhood crushes to the comfort of long-term relationships.
Standout tracks like ‘Paper Cathedral’ and ‘Tiny Little Things’ dive deep into these themes. The latter is said to represent a very important kind of love for her.
Having shared the stage with legends like Bob Dylan and Marianne Faithfull, Paulusma knows how to captivate an audience.
Her new album encourages listeners to take a break from the fast-paced world of social media and really soak in the music.
When she performs live with bassist Jon Thorne, it’s all about creating that deep listening experience. Thorne’s unique style adds a special touch to her storytelling.
They recorded 20 songs live in a chapel studio in Wales, capturing the essence of their music in a beautiful setting.
To make it even more personal, they included spoken word pieces recorded in various natural and sacred locations.
Paulusma also has a strong academic background, having taught songwriting at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance.
She even published a book on folk song and literature, showcasing her passion for music and storytelling.
As a record producer, she founded her own label, ‘Wild Sound’, which released music from several artists.
With ‘Wildfires’ on the horizon, fans can look forward to an incredible live experience. Tickets for the Chesham show are available on her website, pollypaulusma.com/tour.
This performance is part of a larger UK tour, with stops in cities like Deal, Birmingham, and Glasgow. It’s shaping up to be a memorable journey for everyone involved.
