On ‘Bright-Eyed Wonderment’ Astrid delivers a musical & storytelling journey that reflects a confidence that mirrors her evolution as a singer-songwriter. Quirky arrangements and vocals reflect a self-assuredness that Astrid has brought to this beautiful record that is characteristically sweet and melodious that often drifts to melancholia which reflects a fragile beauty.
Astrid has gathered a number of seasoned musicians to showcase songs from ‘Beauty In The Ordinary’, ‘Bright-Eyed Wonderment’ and select songs from her back catalogue.
