A
gig
held at The Jam Jar
on Tuesday 18th November. The event starts at 19:30.
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.
Note this is a standing show at The Jam Jar with some seats around the sides for those who can't stand.
