Zoe Graham: The Open Fund for Music Creators
The Open Fund will support Zoe Graham to tour the UK, taking in a number of major cities, as well as some remote locations in the Scottish highlands and islands. The support will also allow Zoe to undertake an extensive promotional and marketing campaign to ensure the tour reaches as many people as possible.
There is an impressive maturity and attention to detail in Zoe Graham’s music that sets this accomplished young songwriter apart from her peers. On stage, you will find her either with band or fleshing out the instrumentation with loop pedals on solo outings.
Zoe’s debut EP, Hacket & Knackered was self-released 12 months ago with one of the tracks receiving support from Spotify’s New Music Friday UK playlist. She has been championed by Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway – recently featuring on his ‘ones to watch list’ for 2019, in addition to the Herald’s one to watch list, the Herald’s top tunes of 2018 list and the Sunday Herald’s ‘five to watch out for in 2019’.
Over the past eighteen months Zoe has played a number of live shows and recently played her first headline show at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut as part of Celtic Connections. She has also supported artists such as Rae Morris, Kawala and Fatherson. In addition to showcasing at Wide Days and Xpo North, she has also played at festivals including TRNSMT, Belladrum, Electric Fields, Tenement Trail and the Alternative Peers Ball.
