About this concert
One of Scotland’s foremost modern day folk singer-songwriters. Described as “a new standard bearer” of the folk revival by Q Magazine, Kris is an award-winning contemporary musician, writer and producer whose work with experimental folk trio Lau and as a solo artist has earned him endless plaudits.
Since the summer of 2023, Drever has been out on the road performing with his exceptional band: Louis Abbott, a multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, known for his work as the frontman of the ScottishIndie collective Admiral Fallow, contributes drums, guitars, keys, and vocals to the ensemble.
Euan Burton, Kris Drever's long-time co-producer and a stellar double bassist, brings a rich depth to the sonic landscape. Rachel Lightbody, a highly prized jazz singer and accomplished backing vocal artist, adds a touch of elegance and soulful harmony to the band.
Together, they bring a fresh sound to familiar tunes. They return to venues this summer.
