About this Event
Kris Drever
Kris Drever is among Scotland’s most acclaimed and distinctive contemporary
musicians, celebrated for his warm voice, virtuosically expressive guitar playing and
imaginative and evocative songwriting. Raised in the Orkney Islands, Drever has
carved out a unique place at the intersection of traditional folk and modern acoustic
music, as a solo artist and as one third of the award-winning trio Lau.
Over the course of his career, Kris has won hatfuls of honours, including BBC Radio
2 Folk Awards for Best Singer, Best Original Song, and Best Group with Lau. His
solo work combines lyrics of depth and authenticity with expertly pitched
arrangements, exploring themes of place, identity, and social change, delivered with
clarity, compassion, and poetic insight.
Kris will be playing some brand-new songs as well as a selection from his back
catalogue of originals and interpretations of traditional material on this tour. He will
be supported by the wonderful singer songwriter Polly Paulusma.
