Swiss-born, Berlin-based singer-songwriter Anna Erhard has carved out a reputation for turning life’s absurdities into sharply observed, playful songs. Following her acclaimed albums Short Cut (2021) and Campsite (2022), she returns with her third record Botanical Garden (2024), a collection of witty, keenly-detailed character studies wrapped in jangly pop hooks and understated storytelling. With singles like Hot Family, Not Rick and Spa, Erhard transforms existential questions and everyday frustrations into dry, humorous vignettes—earning support from BBC 6 Music, Marc Riley, Steve Lamacq, and Lauren Laverne. Her sound, often described as dreamy yet precise, blends breezy melodies with razor-sharp wit, evoking influences like Jonathan Richman and classic British comedy. Erhard’s extensive UK/EU tour in October 2024 has already seen multiple sold-out shows, confirming her as one of Europe’s most compelling new voices—equal parts sardonic, tender, and effortlessly relatable. Her performance at Ziro Festival is supported by Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
