Kris Drever

Kris Drever arrives as a solo artist with an impeccable folk pedigree and his first album ‘Blackwater’ is a significant addition to the current phase of the never ending folk revival.

Unlike others, some also scions of folk families, Kris has not burst upon the scene but has developed his talents through a process which ensures a solid foundation for a long career. His journey has taken him from Orkney where, the son of Ivan Drever of Wolfstone fame, he first began to play and sing, to the folk clubs of Edinburgh where he plied his trade as a teenager, to touring and recording with many of the brightest and best of the new folk generation.

Now it’s his turn to take centre stage and he does it with a voice full of resonance and character and a judicious selection of old and new songs that, once heard, won’t leave you alone.
