Thea Gilmore

**Thea Gilmore** is a fiercely independent British singer-songwriter who's been crafting sharp, poetic folk-rock anthems since the late '90s. Known for her wry lyricism and genre-blending sound, she’s built a cult following with albums like *Rules for Jokers* and *Avalanche*, earning comparisons to legends like Joni Mitchell and Elvis Costello. The Oxford-born artist isn’t afraid to mix biting social commentary with raw vulnerability, whether she’s reimagining Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (as heard in her recent releases) or dissecting modern life in originals like *These Quiet Friends*. With over 20 albums under her belt—including self-released gems and projects like *IS* and *WAS*—Gilmore remains a defiantly DIY force, balancing motherhood and music while refusing to water down her fiercely intelligent songwriting. Her 2023 self-titled album *Thea Gilmore* proves she’s still pushing boundaries, blending folk, rock, and electronic textures into something entirely her own.
