Pollyanna is a French indie-folk project lead by Isabelle Casier. Her honest songwriting and her heart-warming voice is backed up by an electric or acoustic guitar. English-speaking author, songwriter and performer, she has issued three albums and performed in hundreds of venues across the western hemisphere.
Despite a natural flair for minor chords, Isabelle’s cheerful presence, eclectic taste and experiences as an outsider (in Europe, the USA, South America...) open up her musical field to all things pop, rock, folk and folklores. Her French taste for poetry and social commentary is perceivable. As an ex-journalist, she loves to deal with 21th century obsessions,sometimes in a tongue-in-cheek way : travels and migrations, the weight of history, identities, resilience and the constant urge to define oneself... Her songs are both timeless and ultimately contemporary.
On her records, Pollyanna mixes indie-pop and folk with exotic influences. Her music, melodies and vibes remind us of those of Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Neko Case or PJ Harvey. A full-time musician since 2017, she founded her own label, Acoustic Kitty, and the its live counterpart Acoustic Kitty Live. Her last mini-album, Man Time, was released in France in 2022.
