Groovy Daughter

Defiantly vulnerable and sonically immersive, Groovy Daughter’s empowering musical vignettes make sense of a 20-something’s increasingly turbulent world.

In the wake of the 2020 pandemic, Groovy Daughter doubled-down on her emotionally captivating live performances with a series of online shows, culminating in a performance on the Isol-Aid line up alongside <a href="spotify:artist:5kdYrM3h2sB1Eid5tDf6Hk" data-name="Alex Lahey">Alex Lahey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:42NjRVKqEGe2DkGvlUd5qM" data-name="Alex the Astronaut">Alex the Astronaut</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4OOlG5eBXSkSAAEeKjJb5Y" data-name="Courtney Barnett">Courtney Barnett</a>.
