Blue Lobelia is the solo project of Kjipuktuk (Halifax) based multi-instrumentalist, Rachel Bruch. She blends classical and indie-folk influence to create ethereal string arrangements under a rich soprano voice. Throughout the pandemic, Blue Lobelia has been gently writing and recording new music, including a foray into archival folk with the album, 'Folk Songs & Broadside Ballads' released by Big Turnip Records (2021). Her latest work, Resilient Moon (2023) showcases folk-centric guitar underneath unfettered string arrangements. Meriting a MNS nomination for ‘Best Folk/Roots Recording of the Year' and a review by 'The Coast', naming it a Top 10 Album of 2022. Blue Lobelia's sound has been compared with the vocal stylings of Joni Mitchell, Lana Del Rey and early career Feist, while her live looping draws to mind Andrew Bird or Owen Pallet. 

“Imagine if the place where the sea and forest meet made a song.”
