Jenny Sturgeon With Patsy Reid

Music
  • Saturday 13th September 20:00 (Doors)

Malt Room Seated

Brewery Arts welcomes award-winning Scottish folk singer-songwriter, sound artist, and producer Jenny Sturgeon. Highly regarded for her observational, contemporary songs, Jenny blends field recordings with sonic and lyrical imagery. She previously worked as a seabird ecologist. Her songs explore nature, folklore, and our connection with the landscape. Folk Radio UK describes her songs as “moving and meditative,” with sharply-observed lyrics that “tell of exploration and wonder of the natural world” like geo poems.

As a solo artist, Jenny has released two acclaimed albums. The Living Mountain earned a nomination for the 2021 Scottish Album of the Year Awards and won Best Acoustic at the 2020 Scottish Alternative Music Awards. Jenny also contributes to the critically acclaimed alt-folk band Salt House and the bird and kitchen-disco inspired group Birdvox.

Additionally, Jenny will be joined by the talented Patsy Reid, who plays fiddle and viola. Patsy combines traditional and classical techniques to create her distinctive sound, earning admiration as one of the UK’s top fiddle and viola players. She has performed alongside Dougie Maclean and Kylie Minogue at the 2014 Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony, with Zakir Hussain at the 2012 London Olympics, and collaborated with Mark Knopfler, Flook, Kathryn Tickell, and Georgia Cécile, among others.

Jenny Sturgeon has received glowing reviews.

“Combining found sounds and a musical ethereality to create a wholly unique experience and atmosphere… quality music from a master of the craft” Folk At The Barrier

“A representative of avant-garde folk music in which the lines between music, scientific observation and aesthetics blur, rendering categorisation inconsequential.” London Folk Review

“One might argue it’s only when moulded in the hands of artists like Jenny Sturgeon that powerful messages of the wilderness have the potential to move all our lives in a green direction” Irish Music Magazine

“Patsy transcends simply being a folk musician. She has an understanding of what to play and when and how to play it that rivals the best of any genre.” Jim Moray

“She’s a fantastic musician, a lovely fiddle player and a joy to be with. No wonder everybody wants to work with her.” Kathryn Tickell
