An Evening of Songs and Stories with James Grant

Sunday 25th September, 2022

Part of Scotland on Tour

Regarded as one of the country’s finest singer-songwriters, James first shot to fame with the band Love and Money, writing four classic albums for the band. He has  worked with world-renowned producers such as Gary Katz of Steely Dan and Tom Dowd (who produced Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and Aretha Franklin). Love and Money produced several hit singles, racked up silver disc sales and built a world-wide fanbase.

James has gone on to have a hugely successful solo career with seven critically acclaimed albums – one of which was BBC Radio 2’s Album of the Week.

Internationally recognised as one of the great songwriters of recent decades, James draws from a broad palette of pop, folk, soul, country and blues influences.

James Grant said: “Cottiers is a beautiful venue just round the corner from where I live, I’m very much looking forward to this show in September.”

With a voice like chocolate, gunpowder dry wit and world class acoustic guitar chops, this is a very special chance to see James in his hometown in such an intimate setting.

He will take questions from the audience – just don’t expect a straight answer.

Scotland on Tour will take place over a period of 12 months between April 2022 and 2023. The remaining concert taking place at Cottiers Theatre is Dallahan + support on Sunday 23rd October.

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.
