Acclaimed singer-songwriter GITTA DE RIDDER, originally from the Netherlands and a former Londoner, is thrilled to return to the Green Note to share songs from her highly anticipated new album. This evening promises to be a special one, offering a preview of her forthcoming 4th record and celebrating the release of the first single, ‘Tiny’, due out on the 8th of November. Gitta is especially excited to be joined by Martha Bean, and one might expect to hear them play a song or two from their collaborative EP ‘Songs to Dream By’.
“Packed full of love, warmth, and introspection. A Mary Poppins & Joni Mitchell hybrid, providing a musical antidote to any soul-ailments with a spoonful of song.”
“de Ridder skillfully crosses genre boundaries from modern folk and new acoustics to pop, while maintaining a distinctive and recognizable sound. Where poetic lyrics meet the honesty and rawness of folk music, she adds a lightness and pop edge without losing sight of meaning and authenticity.”
Support comes from UK-based songstress MARTHA BEAN.
Like the soundtrack to a classic spy film, Martha Bean’s expansive soundscapes and soaring falsetto have earned her comparisons to artists like Nick Drake, Sufjan Stevens, and Jeff Buckley.
Martha’s debut album ‘When Shadows Return To The Sea’ received 4-star reviews in magazines such as R2 and Northern Sky, the latter praising it as “an utterly enchanting debut.” She has since followed up with two solo EPs, ‘Here Comes The Snowstorm’ and ‘First Light’ (both of which have been played on Tom Robinson’s show on BBC Radio 6), as well as the EP ’Songs to Dream By’ in collaboration with Gitta de Ridder.
