Singer-songwriter Jemima Thewes’ music is inspired by the folk ballad tradition and her roots in the Highlands of Scotland. Characterised by her warm vocals and playful instrumentation, Jemima’s ‘cloud-hopping tales’ have a unique and unexpected sound.
Playing a combination of traditional songs and her own material, alongside the unique combination of strings and a rare wooden box in the form of a chromatic tongue drum, Jemima and her band create an innovative and compelling sound.
Jemima Thewes said: “It’s great to be out playing music with the band again. It’s been a tough few years but this initiative is such a brilliant opportunity to play at lots of great venues around the touring circuit. I can’t wait to share our music in Glasgow again and reconnect with the Rum Shack massive! We're really looking forward to creating new memories and experiences with everyone we meet on this tour.”
Scotland on Tour will take place over a 12 month period between April 2022 and 2023. The remaining concerts taking place at The Rum Shack are Pictish Trail on Tuesday 20th September, and Twelfth Day on Sunday 9th October.
Shaun Galbraith, Venue Manager at The Rum Shack, said: “The Rum Shack are delighted to be participating in the Scotland on Tour programme of events and are looking forward to seeing acts like Jemima Thewes, Ali Affleck, Pictish Trail, Twelfth Day and Samson Sounds all perform in our venue. We hope to see you there too!”
Scotland on Tour will support 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.
