Inspired by Glasgow’s evolving music scene, as well as the vast vistas of the Scottish Highlands, Dan Brown’s writing is musically ‘nomadic’, blurring and blending the lines between genres, merging an eclectic mix of indie folk, ambient electronica, jazz and traditional Celtic music to create a distinctive sound of warm timbres and textures, with strong melodies tinged with nostalgia. NOMAD features Laura Wilkie (fiddle), JulietteLemoine (cello), Chris Amer (guitar), Gregor Black (drums and bodhran) and TomGibbs (piano and clarinet).
Opening the evening, award-winning Scottish bass player David Bowden plays a solo set, highlighting the lyrical and textural capabilities of the double bass while drawing from a wide-ranging musical palette. Expect an exploration of uplifting melodies and expressive improvisation.
