Queer Folk Festival

An evening where queerness and folk music meet.

Hana Fatur

Hana Fatur is a melancholic indie pop artist, whose evocative songwriting and delicate voice guide us through her poetic songs about quiet loneliness, sleepless thoughts and deep sadness. Often called the Slovenian Phoebe Bridgers, the Ljubljana-born and raised artist, who is currently Rotterdam (NL) based, is performing all around Europe and releasing her first EP called “Nocturnal”.

Lotje

Lotje gives you the space to feel the things you don’t quite dare to think. Her indie-folk songs look back on feelings of anger and frustration centered around the fear of loneliness and growing up. The songs are primarily about grieving for others, yourself, the past, and the future. With a combination of warm band arrangements and raw lyrics, she takes the stage and audience into her world. Having grown up with Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, and Big Thief, she writes emotional vocal lines over accessible guitar parts.

Babygurl

Babygurl is a queer alternative folk project, bringing raw and bittersweet songs that feel close to the heart and leave the listener haunted. Songwriter Dora Funnekotter translates her experiences as a trans woman into intimate songs about identity, self exploration, loneliness and love. Her intricate guitar parts and introspective vocals create moving performances, inspired by artists like Adrianne Lenker, Elliott Smith and Jacob Alon.

MX

Missing queer representation, especially concerning non-binary individuals, Mx. decided it was time to take matters into their own hands. The result is a bundle of honest indiefolk songs which might make you wanna jump around and cry at the same time. Mx. is the project of Tisha Smit. It is also a title for anyone who doesn’t fit into being a Mr, Mrs, Miss or a Ms.

Levi Boon

Levi Boon is a musician who creates a world through her music in which the ordinary feels magical. Her songs carry a timeless sense of nostalgia, weaving memories and emotions into melodies that resonate instantly. The warmth in her voice evokes artists such as Carole King, Feist, and Billie Marten. Her music reflects her own life while also serving as a canvas onto which listeners can project their own stories.

Kasmin

Floating through a dream a storm stands before you… The songs of Kasmin ask you to completely give yourself to their stories and help you feel your strongest emotions: Intensity, grief, melancholy, a whole spectrum to float through This spectrum fills their compositions to the last drop, where the story is the most important and structure comes last. With bands like Jeff Buckley, Fink and Andy Shauf as inspiration, be ready to be taken away.
