- **Event Name**: Kris Drever with special guest Annie Dressner
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 10:15 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: A regular performer in Shetland over the past 15 years, 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.

Over the course of his career Kris has won hatfuls of honours, including BBC Radio 2 folk awards for best singer, best 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.

For his spring tour Kris will be playing some brand new songs from his forthcoming fifth solo album 'Doing This For Love', as well as a selection from his back catalogue of originals and his storied interpretations of traditional material.

Annie Dressner is a singer-songwriter originally from New York City and now living in Cambridge, UK. Brimming with razor-sharp wit, emotional poignancy and glorious melodies, Annie's straightforward lyrical style, smart wordplay and lilting vocals offer listeners a front row seat to her captivating stories.

Annie has released four studio albums and her music has been played extensively across UK national radio, including a live session for Gideon Coe on BBC6 Music. Her recent single 'For The Thrill Of It' features Kathryn Williams and is a scathing commentary about sexual harassment within the music industry.

Programmed by Ragged Wood in association with Shetland Arts.
