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.
