Lisa Knapp

Lisa Knapp is a celebrated English folk artist known for her enchanting voice, masterful fiddle playing, and imaginative reinvention of traditional songs. Bursting onto the folk scene with her debut album *Wild & Undaunted* (2007), she quickly earned acclaim for blending earthy storytelling with experimental textures, a vibe that shines through in releases like *Hidden Seams* (2013) and *Till April Is Dead - A Garland of May*. Her work often feels both timeless and fresh, weaving lush arrangements with a DIY spirit—evident in tracks like the haunting "Hinterland" or the hypnotic "Train Song."

Collaboration is key to Lisa’s craft: she’s teamed up with fellow folk luminaries like producer/multi-instrumentalist Gerry Diver (also her husband), and her live performances, including gems from *The Mark Radcliffe Folk Sessions*, radiate warmth and spontaneity. Whether reviving centuries-old ballads or crafting originals like "Sometimes," Lisa’s music bridges past and present, inviting listeners into a world where folklore feels vividly alive.
