Scottish singer-songwriter Kirsten Adamson, former vocalist of The Tanagers, plays the Filey Evron Centre in Filey.
Kirsten Adamson plays the Filey Evron Centre on Friday 16 April 2027, performing with her band The Tanagers. It's a Scottish singer-songwriter's night in Filey, and the set will draw from a career that's moved through a few different sounds before settling into the one she's known for now.
Adamson's background is a fair bit of a musical map. She's the daughter of Stuart Adamson, the rock legend from Big Country and The Skids, and champion Highland dancer Alexandra Adamson. She spent summers in Nashville with her father and took up musical theatre as a teenager, singing backing vocals on Big Country's Driving to Damascus when she was thirteen. By 2010 she was finding her own way as vocalist and keyboardist for the indie-folkers Aberfeldy, then fronting the country rockers The Gillyflowers, and more recently one half of the alt-country duo The Marriage, before releasing her self-titled solo debut in 2015.
Her sound blends heartland Americana, folk and rock, and she's been compared to Sandy Denny, Emmylou Harris and Kate Bush. The recent years have seen her gain some real ground: Landing Place came out in 2023 to critical acclaim, and Dreamviewer followed in 2025, recorded with producer Joe Harvey-Whyte. Along the way, she picked up the Fife Champions Music Award 2023 and was named Official Celtic Connections Showcase Scotland Artist 2023 and Official AMA UK Festival Showcase Artist 2023. The Tanagers will be with her on the night, so it's a full band set rather than a solo one.
