Basia Bulat

Basia Bulat is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter whose work bridges gospel, soul, and classic folk, carried by a distinctive voice and a deeply expressive, multi- instrumental approach. A three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist and JUNO Award nominee, Bulat has built an international reputation through a rich and evolving catalogue, from her early analogue folk recordings to more expansive, collaborative works. Her music has been celebrated on global stages and platforms—from NPR’s Tiny Desk and Later… with Jools Holland to major tribute concerts honouring artists like Leonard Cohen and The Band—and she has toured alongside artists including Sufjan Stevens, The National, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

In 2025, Bulat released Basia’s Palace, her most sonically expansive album to date, featuring lush arrangements, synthesizers, and layered melodies, earning widespread acclaim across North America and Europe. In 2026, she returns to a more intimate setting, presenting a solo tour that reimagines songs from Basia’s Palace alongside highlights from her extensive catalogue. Performing on guitar, piano, and autoharp, these stripped-down concerts foreground the emotional core of her songwriting, allowing each piece to unfold with clarity and depth. The result is a powerful and personal live experience—one that highlights Bulat’s singular artistry and enduring place within the contemporary folk tradition.
