Acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter Adam Beattie (“Uplifting Reveries Of Love” Mojo Magazine) and multi-platinum singer-songwriter Fiona Bevan (“Startling odysseys” The Guardian) come to The Met as part of their double headline tour in celebration of their new music releases.
Adam Beattie will be performing songs from his upcoming album Home Fires Burning; a homespun epic which explores family, legacy and belonging. He writes melodies inspired by the traditional fiddle tunes of his childhood, played on finger-picked acoustic guitar.
Fiona Bevan will be performing songs from her EP First Woman On The Moon, a set of brand new songs exploring hope, love and female desire against a political backdrop. Fiona writes otherworldly melodies on piano and unique guitar tunings.
About Fiona Bevan
Fiona Bevan is a multi-platinum Canadian-British singer-songwriter from Suffolk, with a delicate, passionate voice and a cinematic dream-folk sound, described by Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA as “daring and exciting”, and creating “startling odysseys that suggest Joanna Newsom and Kate Bush spine-tinglingly joined” (The Guardian).
Fiona has been teasing out singles from her self-produced EP, Girl With Telescope, including her dazzling exploration of post-heartbreak ecstasy Faultlines, and her acapella clarion call of female freedom and pleasure, Peaches. She is about to start releasing more self-produced singles from her forthcoming EP First Woman On The Moon.
Fiona has toured Canada, Australia and Europe, and is also a hit songwriter for Billie Marten, Aurora, Lewis Capaldi, Tom Walker, Kylie, Ed Sheeran, and has been working with ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus to raise awareness and help songwriters in the music industry. She is published by Concord Music.
