kris drever

Kris Drever is an award-winning Scottish folk singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer. Cherished and admired in equal measure by listeners and fellow musicians, Kris has been a leading light on the UK roots scene for well over a decade. A highly skilled guitarist who adroitly blends traditional folk and flat picking with more contemporary influences – allied to a distinctively relaxed and poised vocal burr – Drever is a fine interpreter of others’ songs, with an increasingly frequent knack for concocting seriously smart lyrical observations and earworm melodies of his own. Drever has played and recorded with an extensive range of artists including Mark Knopfler, Eddi Reader, Karine Polwart and Julie Fowlis.

‘Guitarist with that bravely experimental trio Lau, Kris Drever has all the makings of a solo celebrity.’ The Guardian
