Holly Lerski - The Wooden House (2015)

Starting her musical journey in 1997 on a Nick Hornby Mix Tape with folk-rock band Angelou, Holly Lerski has recorded 4 albums. One in 10 days with Calum MacColl, another through the night, one in Denmark and her latest in her garden shed. Equipped with one mic, an old Macbook and a large dollop of determination Holly has sung, strummed, drummed and recorded everything from banjo, ukulele and tenor guitar to coffee cups and spoons. If she couldn't play it she asked kith and kin to help; including musician mates James 'Hutch' Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt) and producer/folk artist Stu Hanna(Megson). Handmade and hand-played: independence rarely sounded sweeter. "Quietly brilliant folk-pop with a gorgeous voice." The Sunday Times "Lerski's songs have a deft touch and, like her musical hero Jeff Buckley, an air of spiritual redemption" - Q "You'll be hard pressed to find sounds more achingly lovely" - Mojo
