The Undercurrent presents Lola Veronica!
Lola Veronica's style blends the intensity of spoken-word poetry with the immediacy of music and song. Her original compositions feature fingerstyle guitar and voice, intertwining themes of language, climate, and personal experience – with occasional surprising takes on the Nine Inch Nails, Regina Spektor, and Warren Zevon.
Lola Veronica moved aboard a sailboat before she could crawl, and was raised among natural landscapes of our world. With a life immersed in vast seascapes and dramatically shifting weather, Lola Veronica grew up acutely aware of the climate crisis, and the place of humanity in our natural world, both borderless and fragile. She brings this experience to her creative work, her activism, and her research, with her Master’s in composition working in bioacoustics and climate change. Her music and poetry seeks to tether the abstract to the personal.
Lola Veronica's work has been featured at poetry/music events alongside Bill Direen, David Eggleton and others, with a forthcoming collaboration with John Goudge. She is currently on tour to raise money for her first album, Wide-Eyed Wild Electric.
