In a Nutshell...

Selena Mara creates a magical, earthy atmosphere with her original Celtic Indie Folk songs. From enchanting and soulful to fun and funky, her music is joyful and uplifting.

Her songs draw on the old ways and traditions of the British Isles, and speak of the personal and collective journeys we’re on - honouring the land, the seasons, our healing, and our strength.

There’s an ancient spirit alive in the songs, and they’re rooted in the present.

With rich vocals, poetic lyrics, and lively mandolin and accordion, her performances draw people in and create a sense of togetherness. The songs are grounded and empowering, grown from twenty years of living outdoors - from walking the land to building low-impact community.

At heart, Selena’s music is about connection - to the earth, to each other, and to the living culture we’re creating.

'Selena's songs arise from the spirit of the land and fill your soul with earth medicine' - Daniel Mills, storyteller

Bio

Selena first found her voice in the 1990s as part of the UK road protest movement, where she lived outdoors with a community of musicians and eco-activists. There, around campfires and protest camps, she learned by ear, absorbing traditional British and European folk songs, protest chants, and the spirit of grassroots resistance.

She spent a decade travelling on foot with the nomadic Dongas Tribe, jamming, busking, performing, and leading Bal Folk dance events across the South West... living simply with handcarts, donkeys, canvas shelters, and music.

In the early 2000s, Selena trained as a community musician and holistic singing teacher. Since then, she's led dozens of workshops and helped hundreds of people find joy and freedom in their voices.

Her songwriting weaves in this lived experience: earth-based spirituality, seasonal traditions, and life lived close to the land. She's written nearly 50 original songs, including a unique cycle honouring the eight Pagan/Celtic seasonal festivals.

In 2024, Selena released her debut digital single, We Are The Witches. It's a compelling song that honours the persecuted wise women of European history.

In 2025 she released 'Tune In To Your Power', a folk anthem for the grassroots campaigning movement. And 'Breath Of All Creation', a trancey, dreamy track inspired by the rhythms of nature.

Audiences describe her music as magical, rich, joyful, and heartwarming. Her songs have very singable, catchy choruses and Selena often gets the whole audience joining in.

Selena has performed at local festivals and community events in Devon and Somerset, and is now expanding her reach with upcoming digital releases and more live shows.

'When I listen to Selena's songs I feel like I'm connecting to some ancient and deeper part of myself that also knows the rhythms and the language of the land'

- Chris Smith, Environmental educator

Upcoming Projects

Selena's next single, Don't Doubt Yourself, will be released on 17th April 2026, a crowd-capturing song to help people overcome self-doubt and unlock their potential.

Following this, she'll release her debut EP, Waken Your Fire-a five-song journey themed around self-empowerment. The EP will be available on all streaming platforms and maybe as a CD.

The next big project, starting June 2026, is to record a new album of her 8 original songs for the Celtic Seasonal Festivals / Pagan Wheel Of The Year.

She's also planning live gigs in Spring and Summer 2026 to support the release and connect with wider audiences.

"Selena's singing and songs touch the earthy, primal parts of my being, connecting me back to the earth through roots deep in the tradition of our folk heritage.

Music for people and planet collectively co-creating"

- Andrea Goring, activist and community builder
