Vashti Bunyan

Vashti Bunyan is a British singer-songwriter associated with gentle, pastoral acoustic folk and a soft, breathy vocal delivery. She recorded in the late 1960s and released a sparse, intimate body of work before stepping away from the music industry for many years, and later returned to recording; her songs typically feature simple arrangements, acoustic guitar, and nature-inflected imagery. She is frequently referenced by younger folk and indie musicians as an influence on contemporary acoustic and folk-tinged sounds.
