Acclaimed Art-Pop Singer-Songwriter Dorothy Bird hosts the final live show at LEAF on Bold St this Saturday 20th September – to celebrate her album launch. This September, the Berlin-Liverpool based art-pop songwriter hosts the final live show at LEAF on Bold Street before it closes its doors – following the release of her sophomore album, Whispering Paper. Produced by Dorothy Bird and Jon Lawton, and recorded at Crosstown Studios, the collection of tracks/songs showcase Bird’s distinctive vocal and innovative soundscapes, as she continues to evolve artistically.

Leading with heart-breaking delicacy and a clear sense of artistic intention, Dorothy Bird makes music for heavy thinkers to escape into. “With Whispering Paper, I’m searching for an evocative and powerful connection. It continues the style of music from my debut album while opening up more deeply and directly.” “When my sister passed away in 2023, it was like the shell of everyday life cracked open,” says Dorothy Bird. “All emotions became louder and more defined. There was a new sensitivity—for the world around me, and within.“

Presenting haunting atmospheres, her music is a blend of electronic and acoustic instruments – where ethereal synths and atmospheric guitar are layered with captivating beats, sonic textures, and crystalline vocals that softly and melodically whisper poetic references on life. The result? A magical and mysterious tapestry. With ringing endorsements from BBC Introducing, Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net, and a host of tastemaking magazines in both England and her native Germany, Dorothy’s sound is startlingly original and unmistakably her own. Recent live performances include a celebrated concert at Liverpool’s prestigious The Tung Auditorium, further establishing her reputation as a compelling live performer.

To catch her live at Leaf with support from Married to the Sea and Helen Maw.
