Skerryvore, the acclaimed 8-piece band from Glasgow, takes the stage at The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center on Thursday, September 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $42. The venue is located at 300 Main St., Old Saybrook, CT. For more information call 860-510-0453 or visit thekate.org.Hailing from Glasgow, Skerryvore holds the prestigious title of three-time winners of Scotland’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ award, solidifying their position as one of the leading forces in the country’s vibrant live music scene. With a mesmerizing blend of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, complemented by guitar and vocals, all underscored by a driving rhythm section, this 8-piece ensemble epitomizes the pinnacle of contemporary Scottish traditional music—a unique fusion of folk, traditional, pop, and rock. The band comprises Alec Dalglish (Vox, Acoustic & Electric guitar), Fraser West (Drums & Percussion), Alan Scobie (Keys), Jodie Bremaneson (Bass guitar & Synths), Daniel Gillespie (Accordion), Scott Wood (Bagpipes & Whistles), Craig Espie (Fiddle), and Martin Gillespie (Bagpipes, Accordion & Whistles).
Since their formation in 2004, Skerryvore has released seven studio albums. Their last full-length recording, Tempus, released in April 2023, soared to the #1 spot in both the official Scottish Album and UK Folk Albums charts, securing a position in the top 40 of the Official UK Charts. Described by Celtic Music Radio as, “…reinventing and reigniting Scottish roots music with a modern alt-pop flavor that thrills an ever-expanding multicultural global audience.”
To celebrate the 1st anniversary of the release of Tempus, Skerryvore released a special limited-edition version of the album, Tempus Deluxe, on CD and double vinyl LP, featuring new artwork and 7 bonus ACOUSTIC tracks, plus other exclusive content, in April of 2024.
Skerryvore’s high-energy performances have resonated across the globe, captivating audiences in major venues and at festivals in the USA, Canada, Australia, and throughout the UK and Europe. Their broad range of influences and undeniable talent culminate in a musically expansive, immersive, yet intimate set that promises to excite and captivate audiences. This will be an unforgettable night of music!
