Anna Erhard

A concert at Project House in Leeds by Berlin-based Swiss musician Anna Erhard, presenting the single "1000 Sheep" ahead of a new album and a tour of the UK and Europe.

Berlin-based Swiss musician Anna Erhard writes indie pop built on distorted guitars and lo-fi keyboards, with a strong streak of wry storytelling. The sound sits between the easygoing approach of Kurt Vile and the playful inventiveness of early Beck. Songs take everyday observations, journeys and chance meetings and turn them into short, vivid snapshots.

The third studio album, Botanical Garden, came out in 2024 and was widely acclaimed across Europe. Anna Erhard then played sold-out tours of the UK and a wide run of dates on the continent, made an appearance at the Glastonbury Festival, and received heavy rotation on BBC 6 Music, including live sessions recorded at Maida Vale Studios in London. The new single "1000 Sheep" previews the forthcoming album of the same name.

This Leeds date forms part of the 1000 Sheep Tour across the UK and Europe, with Dana Gavanski as special guest on all UK dates. Project House, on Armley Road, mainly hosts concerts, with a programme focused on electronic music, and it is one of the venues where Anna Erhard headlines on a larger scale during the UK leg.
