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.
Between writing, recording and touring Polly Paulusma teaches songwriting and poetry for Cambridge University and songwriting for the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, where she is Associate Professor of Song and Literature.
“A work of vision and beauty, these songs ring with truths that could only come from experience” ~ For Folks Sake
