Good Habits

One of the most exciting new indie-folk bands to come out of the UK in recent years, Good Habits’ award-winning, genre-fusing sound has received international critical acclaim in the short 4 years they have existed with performances at Glastonbury and WOMAD, and tours throughout Europe and Australasia. Their new album ‘Quarter-Life’ charted in the UK Official Folk Charts Top 40, and received glowing press across BBC Radio, Songlines Magazine and more.

Composed of Bonnie Schwarz (cello + vocals) and Pete Shaw (accordion), the pair mix revved-up virtuosity and harmony with vivid storytelling, drawing on their diverse musical tastes and weaving them into an action-packed narrative of genre-bending folky goodness.

''Strong songwriting, pin-precision vocals, hard rocking accordion and great acoustic grooves. English folk musicianship at its 21st century best''. Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music
“They’re very unusual, very entertaining and very talented’’ - Frank Hennessey BBC Radio Wales
“Full of devil may care passion” - The Morning Star ★★★★★

After a pandemic spent ‘happily stranded’ in New Zealand, they arrived back in the UK to spread their joyous music throughout Europe and UK, where they have continued with full momentum.
Now is an exciting time for Good Habits, working with their manager Nataly Chambers of Pulson Management. Plus, with the momentum of their new release, they are full steam ahead into an electric festival in the UK+EU season including Glastonbury and in collaboration with the acclaimed German band The Trouble Notes.
