James Yorkston, Adrian Crowley & Alasdair Roberts
A remarkable triple bill of songwriters who share a musical journey
and friendship featuring Choice Music Prize winner Adrian Crowley and
acclaimed Scottish songsmiths James Yorkston and Alasdair Roberts.
Crowley’s Season Of The Sparks was a languorously melodic piece of
work. Recalling Bill Callahan, Robert Wyatt and Leonard Cohen. Adrian
is currently recording his new album.
Yorkston's ruminations on love, lust, longing and liquor share a more
eternal, resigned, Celtic feel with the battered reflections of
Jacques Brel and Bert Jansch than any of his contemporaries. Over four
albums of flinty beauty Yorkston has established a canon as singular
and intimate as any current songwriter. James has just published his
first book, Its Lovely To Be Here - The Touring Diaries of a Scottish
Gent.
Alasdair Roberts is a Scottish singer, guitarist, interpreter of
traditional songs and writer of new songs based in Glasgow. He has
released three albums of original material under the name Appendix Out
on Drag City, as well as five albums under his own name. Alongside
collaborating with Juana Molina and Will Oldham, he has continued his
exploration of folk with his latest release, Too Long In This Condition (Drag City).
