SoundBox presents: Kris Drever and Chris Stout
This concert is a fantastic opportunity to witness the combined talents of Kris Drever and Chris Stout in an exciting collaboration at St Mary's Creative Space, Chester. Icons of the Scottish roots culture, Drever and Stout are two of the most powerful contemporary voices to sing out of it in the last quarter century. Both come from the Northern Isles (Kris from Orkney and Chris from Shetland) and represent the strength of those identities in the music they inhabit. Inherited through childhood, family and osmosis, you can hear the wind whistling through the strings, the rhythms washing against your animal self and the old stories whispering out from the ingleneuk. In Glasgow in 2019 the two found themselves to be neighbours in the West End and began meeting up and playing music together. Both musicians found a sound of great interest and emotional power in these little get-togethers, and it soon became a more regular happening. Now they?ve decided to share the experience with a wider audience. Come and hear songs and tunes you know, and some you don?t, shining through the unique prism of these two ?one-of-a-kind? musicians. Kris Drever is a guitarist, singer and founder member of the trio Lau. He?s a multi-award winning singer?songwriter, and has played and written with a galaxy of stars (Eddi Reader, Roddy Woomble, Mark Knopfler, Kate Rusby, Jack Bruce, Karine Polwart?). Chris Stout is a virtuoso violinist, viola player and composer, founder member of the legendary Shetland band ?Fiddlers Bid? and long-time collaborator of the genius harpist Catriona McKay. He has performed in venues as storied as the Sydney Opera House and has composed for, and performed, with The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, The Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, The Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and a great many more.
