Award-winning singer/songwriter Kirsten Adamson (daughter of rock legend Stuart Adamson (Big Country, Skids) summons the same heart-stopping purity as Sandy Denny, by way of Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush. Since spending summers soaking up the atmosphere in Nashville with her dad, and singing on Big Country’s Driving To Damascus album, Kirsten has been steadily developing her own voice and songwriting, with indie folkers Aberfeldy, country rockers The Gillyflowers and Americana duo The Marriage.
Her second solo album Landing Place (2023) is a glorious powerhouse of emotionally charged, beautifully delivered songs that bustles and glistens with echoes of folk rock and country gems. It was launched at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, an official showcase at London’s UK Americana Music Festival 2023 and a sold out UK tour in April. Adamson’s track My Father’s Songs has recently been nominated for an Americana UK Award for UK Song Of The Year 2024.
Adamson and her band The Tanagers are currently recording the followup album to Landing Place, Dreamviewer with award-winning producer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Harvey-Whyte at his London studio, Karma. Having impressed audiences and critics at festivals this summer including The British Country Music Festival in Blackpool’s prestigious Winter Gardens, Moseley Folk festival, Fringe By The Sea, Outwith festival and the Edinburgh International Festival, 2025 is set to be the year Adamson and The Tanagers create some big waves.
“Adamson knows how to hold a crowd in the palm of her hand, her vocals are clear and powerful, her songs are strong, she is an all round entertainer.” (The Writers Room)
The Silver Arrow Collective
Singer Songwriter Andy Barbour heads Alt-mystic-country band ‘The Silver Arrow Collective’. With comparisons to The Jayhawks, The Band, My Morning Jacket and Buffalo Springfield, they combine folk, L.A 70’s rock and roll and psychedelia. Creating arrangements sometimes lush and sweeping, at other times sparse and beautiful, their songs take the audience on a roadtrip of cinematic landscapes and melodic reverie. The Silver Arrow Collective have just finished their darkly rapturous first album and are looking forward to bringing their songs to a deserted ranch near you.’
