Event information
Acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter James Yorkston returns with his 16th album on Domino Records, ’Songs for Nina and Johanna’
'Songs for Nina and Johanna' is a meditation on family, love, and parenthood, filled with gentle melodies and poignant lyricism. Recorded live at Studio Rymden in Stockholm with co-producer Daniel Bengtson, the album features two of Sweden’s most recognisable female vocalists: “Who wouldn’t embrace the chance to sing with two great Swedish voices?”, says Yorkston. “When the idea for Johanna to join the fold was suggested, I leapt at the chance. Nina and Johanna, they complement, yet never compete. And me? I tried not to get in their way, tried to give them space to interpret the songs as they felt.”
As well as songs from the new album, you can expect to hear songs old and new from across his extensive back catalogue, which spans 10 critically acclaimed albums across the last 20 years.
James is a singer-songwriter and author from the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. Since signing to Domino Records in 2001, James has released a steady flow of highly acclaimed albums, leading to him touring his music worldwide.
