Bryde: Sarah Howells' fiercely honest indie rock.

Bryde, the project of Sarah Howells, brings her fiercely honest indie rock, played on electric guitar and oscillating between fragile and uncompromising, to West Hampstead Arts Club. Her psychologically charged songwriting, compared to Stevie Nicks, The Cranberries, Jeff Buckley and Lucy Dacus, explores entangling and unravelling with a defiant, life-affirming quality. Working with producers Jolyon Thomas and Bill Ryder-Jones, she has earned BBC Radio 1, 6music and Wales playlist support, and across three albums opened for Rufus Wainwright, played Green Man and Latitude, sold out London shows and toured the US and Europe. Her debut Like an Island and third LP Still, a 2021 Welsh Music Prize nominee, have drawn praise for her "feral guitar" and "distinct" songwriting.
