BELFAST — Louisa Stancioff is set to perform with her band at The Underground Lounge in Belfast on Thursday, April 17, at 7 p.m. Fans can anticipate an evening of evocative melodies and heartfelt storytelling as Stancioff showcases selections from her debut album, When We Were Looking.

"Her music reflects a blend of her Bulgarian heritage and American folk roots, creating a unique sound that resonates deeply with listeners."

When We Were Looking, released in April 2024, has been praised for its raw and unflinching exploration of personal transitions and growth.
