As part of Scotland on Tour, the initiative to support the recovery of Scotland’s live music industry, acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter Elaine Lennon will perform at The MacRobert Hall in Tarland on Friday, November 18.
Since committing to pursuing her passion for creating music in 2018, Elaine Lennon has become one of Scotland’s fastest rising stars, drawing comparisons to the likes of Lori McKenna, Annie Lennox, Nina Simone, and Adele.
Her songs have received airplay on radio stations across the country, with Elaine's distinctive vocal and style linking a unique blend of old and new influences, and her music and live performances are praised for their ability to connect with and inspire audiences.
Commenting Elaine said: “I’m delighted to be able to bring my music to the community of Tarland, thanks to Scotland on Tour.
"I’m excited for this special evening and can’t wait to connect with the audience at The MacRobert Hall and make some wonderful memories.”
Tarland Development Group's Shona Anderson said: “We are looking forward to welcoming Elaine to The MacRobert Hall in Tarland.
"It's set to be a great night of fantastic music in a lovely rural village hall with an appreciative audience.”
Scotland on Tour supports the creation of hundreds of concerts and performances at much-loved arts centres, town halls and community venues across Scotland.
More than 120 artists are set to perform at more than 100 venues across the country as part of the initiative.
The project, which has been created and managed by Active Events, was made possible by £750,000 of Scottish Government backing and will focus on increasing the number of opportunities to showcase and enjoy live music, while bringing exciting acts to the doorstep of city, towns, villages and rural communities.
The year-long Scotland on Tour bill includes both emerging and established artists with genre-spanning acts appearing across the breadth and width of the country, with rock, pop, jazz, classical, folk, trad and acoustic genres all being showcased.
Tickets for these and a raft of other shows are on sale now at www.scotlandontour.com.
