Cherished and admired in equal measure by listeners and fellow musicians, award-winning guitarist, singer, songwriter and prolific collaborator Kris Drever has been a leading light on the UK roots scene for well over a decade.
A highly skilled guitarist who adroitly blends traditional folk and flat picking with more contemporary influences – allied to a distinctively relaxed and poised vocal burr – Drever is an astonishingly fine interpreter of others’ songs, with an increasingly frequent knack for concocting seriously smart lyrical observations and earworm melodies of his own.
Drever has played and recorded with an extensive range of artists including Mark Knopfler, Jack Bruce, Danny Thompson, Eddi Reader, Bela Fleck, Tim O’Brien, Jerry Douglas, Sarah Jarosz, Joan As Police Woman, Tinariwen, Karine Polwart and Julie Fowlis.

"Completely infectious" - BBC Music ★★★★★
“Guitarist with that bravely experimental trio Lau, Kris Drever has all the makings of a solo celebrity” - The Guardian ★★★★
⚡️ Winner - BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Singer of the Year 2017
⚡️ Winner - BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Best Original Track 2017
⚡️ Nominated - BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards Best Original Track
