Draudiga is the alias of Maine psych-folk musician and visual artist Rebecca Theresa Burgess, formerly known as Reesa Wood. Marked by ethereal vocals and fingerstyle guitar, Draudiga's songs draw upon her inner and outer landscapes. Magic is everywhere, both inside and outside the animal body, and her songs delve in and out of the folk tales we carry through generations. 

​

Since her debut in 2020, Draudiga has released four albums- "Paranormal Romance", a lo-fi collection of guitar loops and vocals, “Phosphorescence”, a dreamy goth rock album released in 2021, "Persephone", a harkening back to her country roots, and "Fur and Soot", a collection of witchy, intimate folk songs released in 2023 after the birth of her son. 

​

Collaborators have included guitarist Caleb Aaron Coulthard (Cryin' Caleb Aaron, Tarantula Brothers, The Coalsack in Crux), upright bassist David Yearwood (Foret Endormie, Hex Kitten), bassist Alex Merrill (Lemon Pitch, Heaven's Cameras), and Greg Murphy (Seekonk). ​Draudiga is currently performing as a solo act. 

​

Rebecca has a bachelor's degree in Painting from the Maine College of Art and a master's degree in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. When she's not making music, Rebecca creates visual art and teaches fine art at the University of New England. She lives in South Portland, Maine with her husband, son, and two dogs.
