The psych-folk music of Draudiga arrives at the Oasis of Music beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30, at Trinity Commons in Lewiston.
Draudiga is the alias of Maine psych-folk musician Rebecca Theresa Burgess, formerly known as Reesa Wood. Marked by ethereal pixie-like vocals and fingerstyle guitar, Draudiga’s songs draw upon her inner and outer landscapes. Magic is everywhere, both inside and outside the animal body, and her songs delve in and out of the folk tales we carry through generations.
Since her debut in 2020, Draudiga has released four albums: “Paranormal Romance,” a lo-fi collection of guitar loops and vocals; “Phosphorescence,” a dreamy goth-rock album; “Persephone,” a harkening back to her country roots; and “Fur and Soot,” a collection of intimate folk songs released after the birth of her son.
The Oasis of Music is a weekly music series of performances of roughly thirty minutes, running from September to May. Admission is free, with donations accepted. The musical genres vary greatly, in largely, but not exclusively, acoustic formats. Trinity Commons is located at 247 Bates St., Lewiston. For more information, call 207-344-3106.
