LA-based indie-folk artist Daphne Gale has a sound at once new and familiar. Her eclectic style bares traces of folk, jazz, and rock, seamlessly framing her smoky voice and stirring melodies.

After graduating from college in 2019, Daphne moved to Vermont to work on a farm. With any downtime she found herself writing songs and eventually decided to move to LA to pursue her music. Daphne moved to LA in March 2020, performed at Soho House on March 9th, and then the world went on lockdown.

Through the year of quarantine, Daphne continued to write and develop her voice, ending up with enough material to record, but no studio to speak of. In true DIY spirit she called up some of her friends on the East Coast and asked if they would meet somewhere in the middle to work on her music. To her surprise they all said yes. After two months living and recording in New Mexico, Daphne emerged with her first full length album, aptly titled Nomadder, which will come out this summer.

“Singer-songwriter Daphne Gale makes folk music flecked with jazz, sophisticated but uncluttered compositions accented by her cleared-eyed vocals and conversational lyrics.”
– Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands.LA
