Ida Wenøe

Danish Music Award winning folk artist Ida Wenøe has earned a reputation as an outstanding live performer with her cut-through crystalline voice and delicate guitar style. Since the release of her debut album “Time of Ghosts” in 2015 she has played hundreds of
shows all over Europe and North America, and enjoyed significant national radio support in her homeland, along with BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 4 (UK) and KEXP (Seattle) and WXNA (Nashville) in the USA .

Wenøe is known for her introspective storytelling, often using nature as her tapestry. With a voice that's both ethereal and earthy, the Copenhagen-based singer-songwriter draws inspiration from the folk traditions of the 1960s and ‘70s, with her own contemporary take. Her music is characterised by subtle yet intricate guitar work, soaring vocal harmonies, and a lyrical depth that's both personal and universal.

With 3 acclaimed studio albums behind her, Wenøe has developed her own take on chamber folk, by blending traditional Danish folk music influenced by the legendary songbook “Højskolesangbogen” and composers like Sebastian and Carl Nielsen with
inspiration from international artists like Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, Bill Callahan, Bedouine, Leonard Cohen, Vashti Bunyan and Beth Gibbons.
