Julie Fowlis: Music of the Scottish Isles
A quiet torchbearer for her native tradition, Julie Fowlis is a multi-award winning Gaelic singer deeply influenced by her upbringing in the Outer Hebridean island of North Uist. With a career spanning 10 years and four studio albums, her “crystalline” and “intoxicating” vocals have enchanted audiences around the world. Mary B.
Martin School of the Arts at East Tennessee State University will present Julie Fowlis: Music of the Scottish Isles on October 20 at 7:30 p.m. in ETSU’s Martha Street Culp Auditorium. An artist with a genuine curiosity to
explore other traditions and natural ability to cross genres, Fowlis has
collaborated, recorded and performed with artists such as violin virtuoso
Nicola Benedetti, and acclaimed singers Aled Jones, Grammy-Award winning James
Taylor and Mary Chapin Carpenter. She also recorded the theme song to Brave, Disney Pixar’s Oscar-, Golden Globe- and BAFTA-winning animated film, set in the ancient highlands of Scotland. “There are some voices that carry much more than a melody,” says the Evening Standard of London. “They transport you to another place, give you goose flesh and make magic out of thin air. Julie Fowlis has just such a voice.” For tickets or
