Following the release of her new record, Green Live, Swiss singer-songwriter Seraina Telli is taking the show on the road this month when she docks into the UK for a number of dates - catch her at The Craufurd Arms in Wolverton next Tuesday (October 13).
For Seraina, the stage is not an addition to the music. It is the centre of it all.
While many artists perfect their songs in the studio, the most important part of Seraina's music only comes to life on stage: in the moment, between band and audience, between energy, chaos and magic.
Anyone who has seen Telli live quickly realizes that this is not about perfection at all costs. It is about intensity. About connection. About those rare concert moments that cannot be planned, when a song suddenly takes on a new direction, when the audience sings back every word, or when a room falls completely silent for a fleeting moment.
Telli has long established herself as one of the most distinctive voices in Swiss rock music, with tours across Europe and the United States, and support slots with artists for artists including Bryan Adams, Steel Panther, Monster Magnet and CoreLeoni under her belt.
Her debut album, Simple Talk, launched in 2022 and hit No. 2 on the Swiss Album Charts, followed by Addicted to Color a year later, and Green in 2025, both of which hit the top spot on the Swiss Album Charts.
"We've played some of these songs hundreds of times, yet something new keeps happening. Those are the moments you can't manufacture. They only happen live," she said.
Musically, Seraina remains uncompromising. Powerful rock meets emotional depth; massive hooks meet intimate restraint. Songs are reimagined for the stage, rearranged and sometimes completely transformed, including spontaneous moments that can only arise when musicians and audience share the same space.
Her lyrics speak of self-determination, courage and staying true to one's own path, especially in a time of constant distraction and information overload.
"Every day we're bombarded with so much noise that sometimes it's hard to know which way is up. I want to show that there are still artists with honest intentions."
