SOPHIE MUNGER

Enchanting, poetic, tender and mossy; Sophie Munger is one of the most cherished songwriters of Bristol’s contemporary folk scene. She has featured on BBC radio and taken her show to festivals and events including Anthropos Festival, The Green Gathering, Bimble Bandada, and the Psychedelic Society Symposium in London. Likened to Joni Mitchell and Joanna Newsom, Sophie presents a trembling heart with a withering force. Audiences describe her work as “raw’’ “moving” and “ethereal”. Her long-awaited album ‘Talking to the Woods’ is released in 2024.

‘’Her songs are expressed with emotional sensitivity, empathy, and a reflection on human fragility in voice and music.’’ (Brendan O’Melia)

‘’You sound like you are going to break, but you don’t.’’ (Dr Ben Sessa)

‘’Your music does something remarkable to my nervous system.’’ (Emmy the Harp)
