“Change is good and necessary, but sometimes the motivation behind it is highly questionable”: Roxanne de Bastion, singer/songwriter and arts community advocate introduces her new song 'Wasteland', with a cry championing the revival of music cities and creative hubs.

About Roxanne de Bastion:
‘Wasteland’ is taken off of de Bastion's Seeing You EP, which is out on Hidden Trail Records now and available on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.

Roxanne de Bastion was born and raised in Berlin, and is currently based in London. Since the release of her debut album “The Real Thing” in 2013, Roxanne has made a name for herself across Europe as “a real mover and shaker in the independent music scene” (Ruth Barnes). Following in the footsteps of the 1960's greats (think Dylan, Nyro, Mitchell and a touch of Beatles psychedelia), de Bastion is on the forefront of the new Singer/Songwriter generation, alongside Daughter, St. Vincent and Regina Spektor: someone with something to say and a musicality to match.

Wasteland Tour Dates:
In promotion of her EP, and presenting the ideas expressed in the think-piece above, Roxanne de Bastion is going on a UK headline tour in April. See her in these grassroots music venues across:
