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 songs from his highly acclaimed new album Doing This For Love as well as a selection from his back catalogue of originals and interpretations of traditional material on this tour.
We're excited to have Kris come back and play an intimate solo concert for us again in Broughty Ferry at the lovely St Mary's Church on Friday 4th December.
