I am so thrilled to announce these exciting dates with you! 🌹
✭ THE LOST SONGWRITERS TOUR 2026 ✭
The tour was born in January 2025, following a one-off show in the Swiss village of Ins, where four contrasting songwriters unexpectedly found common ground. What began as a single evening of music turned into long conversations, shared philosophies, and a sense of creative kinship. From that moment, the decision was made to take the collaboration on the road—and see where the songs would lead.
Now, the Lost Songwriters arrive in Switzerland from 26-28 February and the UK from 5–11 March 2026, offering intimate performances that promise depth, atmosphere, and emotional connection rather than spectacle.
A Meeting of Four Distinct Songwriting Worlds
Each artist on the tour brings a radically different approach to contemporary songwriting:
Adaya (CH) crafts spellbinding, early-folk-inspired songs rooted in the wilderness of her Swiss homeland. Her work blends poetic storytelling with experimental arrangements, while her ethereal vocals and woodwinds are also known from her work with pagan-folk collective Faun.
Russell Joslin (UK) represents the UK contingent with a sound that merges folk tradition and modern unease. His guitar style recalls a grunge-soaked John Fahey, while his intense, keening vocals echo the gravity of David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower). Joslin uses folk as a lens to explore today’s fractured society, earning praise for «intense and artistically serious mental cinema» and «Americana noir» storytelling.
Adele H (IT) offers a stark, minimalist contrast—primordial experimental pop built around piano and a daring, haunting voice. Her songs feel philosophical and instinctive, drawing listeners into emotional spaces that are often left unspoken.
Bob Spring (CH) brings dark country with grit and heart. Living his songs completely, Spring balances vulnerability and rebellion through raw melodies and a voice that carries quiet authority. No excess, no banter—just deeply human storytelling.
Tour Dates – February & March 2026
The Lost Songwriters Tour will play the following dates:
- 26 February - Bern CH Mahogany Hall

With a mix of ticketed and donation-based shows, the tour embraces accessibility and intimacy—placing the songs, stories, and shared experience at the centre. A Tour Built on Connection

✭ NEW ALBUM «LOVE TO WANDER» COMING OUT SOON ✭
I am currently working on my upcoming album «Love to Wander» which will be released together with my first book «I Love to Wander». Together with Ursula Suchanek on quinton and vocals, we will record the album live in Blacksmith Studios near Munich, Germany. Exact news about the release to be announced soon!
✭ WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR BOOKINGS ✭
Due to the upcoming release, we are available for bookings in November 2026! Dates around October, December 2026 and January, February 2027 can be discussed too. Please reach out to me, if you are interested in hosting our duo-showcase in your venue. <3
✭ ABOUT ADAYA & URSULA SUCHANEK ✭
In 2024, Adaya & Ursula Suchanek found themselves being hired for a nostalgic wooden carousel. Of course; that always happens to folk musicians and that’s how this project all started. Atmospheric and dark, the songs delve deep into the hearts of the listeners with personal lyrics, featuring Adaya’s main vocals accompanied by banjo and guitar, as well as Ursula on the quinton (a five-stringed fiddle) providing harmony vocals. Newly arranged folk songs and poems set to music captivate the audience. Musically, they evoke the likes of Martin Simpson, Karen Dalton, Townes Van Zandt, and 70s folk heroes like Steeleye Span & Fairport Convention. However, they find it very difficult to be pigeonholed. The songs are inspired by old music, reinterpreted as original compositions, and thus have a timeless quality.

Dear friends,
Wow - already 100 of you have helped me by supporting this project! Thank you so, so much 🌹 We almost reached 70% which is good, but in order to call this crowdfunding a success, we have to reach 100%.
If that’s not the case - you will receive your money back and I will try to find a Plan B, but let’s hope for Plan A, as we are soo close!
What you can still do - is to share and spread the word! Maybe you have a friend or two, a family member who would love to participate in this!
Only if half of you find one more person each to join, we would technically reach the goal :)
Let’s wish our selves luck!
Full power ( and new moon’s energy) to the last run!! ✨
