Catch Fife songwriter Kirsten Adamson at Voodoo Rooms before she goes to record second solo album

Fife songwriter Kirsten Adamson will head the bill at a gig at Edinburgh’s Voodoo Rooms on Saturday evening.

Kirsten Adamson.

Adamson will bring an evening of folk Americana music ahead of a planned recording session for her second solo album.

Her father was Stuart Adamson (Skids, Big Country) and her mother Alexandra, a champion Highland dancer.

With summers spent soaking up the atmosphere in Nashville with her dad and a string of leading roles in musical theatre back in the UK, the teenage Adamson’s course was set. She sang backing vocals on Big Country’s last album Driving to Damascus at age 13.

By 2010, she was forging her own career as a vocalist and keyboard player for indie-folkers Aberfeldy. She fronted country rockers The Gillyflowers and more recently shone as half of alt-country duo The Marriage.

She will appear on Saturday with special guests Jason McNiff and Dan Raza.

Kirsten Adamson, The Voodoo Rooms, Edinburgh, Saturday October 30, at 7pm.
