Maaike Siegerist
Folk | Saturday 30th June | 2.25pm | Folk - Abbey Stage |
Maaike Siegerist is a Dutch jazz and ‘dark folk’ artist with airplay on BBC Radio 6. Her music is an unusual blend of classic jazz, Argentine folk and gothic influences; her voice has echoes of Joan Baez and the Portuguese fado singer Cristina Branco. Maaike self-released her debut album Born Before the Wind last year, and performs across the UK and the Netherlands. She is joined by indie singer-songwriter Jonni Slater on keys and vocals.
