After many years refrain from the stages of the world, the British musician Dido is on tour again. She has her fifth album, Still On My Mind, on hand. In April, Dido, who is considered one of the greatest British artists of the last twenty years, makes a detour to Zermatt Unplugged. She performs an exclusive acoustic set that will not miss out on songs like White Flag, Thank You or Life for Rent. A melodic voice and lyrics that shines the right light on the little moments of life: Dido’s music brings calm amid a crazy world. To be able to experience her music unplugged in the mountains already inspires great anticipation.

With Tyler Ramsey in the Winkelmatten chapel, Zermatt Unplugged curates an artist whose work is intimately connected with nature. The American singer-songwriter – influenced by country blues and home in the mountains of North Carolina – is a self-confessed country dweller. He goes to the forest to compose. Playing the acoustic guitar is just as important to him as walking. The multi-instrumentalist has become known as a guitarist and co-writer of the «Band of Horses». In 2017, Tyler Ramsey left the band to focus exclusively on solo projects.


VERNISSAGE
Tiwayo

The French musician Tiwayo has composed a masterpiece with his debut album The Gypsy Soul of Tiwayo. This music comes along relaxed and casual. Its roots lie in American jazz, blues and soul of the 60s and 70s. The roots of reggae has also left its mark. Tiwayo sings his songs in a voice that earned him the nickname «The Young Old», because whoever it may be, everyone marvels at the early maturity of this artist who first found the limelight as support for Norah Jones, Seal, Sting, and Patrice. Today the most ambitious festivals are scrambling around Tiwayo.
