Alice Boyd is a London-based artist who works with the intersection of music and ecology. Her sets always feel less like curated performance and more like an invitation—to slow down and really, simply listen, to allow ourselves to get lost in the world around.

Since 2024, she’s been making small waves in the UK’s more unexpected corners—botanical gardens, underground venues, and even rural forest clearings. Alice isn’t trying to shout above the noise—she’s turning the volume right down and seeing who’s still paying attention.

With her previous work including installations at the renowned Wellcome Collection, sound design for several podcasts and film projects, in addition to an artist residency at the Eden Project, Alice moves between the natural and digital world with ease. Her storytelling powers via audio have found homes on BBC Radio 3, 4, 6Music, and far beyond—but it’s her live shows where the magic really takes place. No two shows by Alice are the same. No two interpretations are either.

At Deer Shed this year, you can expect a set that blurs the line between a concert and a wave of new sounds. Slow-burn-paced music that is perfect for anyone willing to stop scrolling and start tuning to the world around us. Think less of a spectacle and more of an entrancing spell.
