About Will Stratton and Trippers & Askers at Kingsbarns Church
An evening of folk and Americana music from acclaimed U.S. touring musicians, Will Stratton and Trippers and Askers.
Points of Origin is Will Stratton’s eighth LP, and his third for Bella Union. His previous two albums, 2021’s The Changing Wilderness and 2017’s Rosewood Almanac, attracted positive recognition from the likes of Elton John, Alexis Petridis at the Guardian, Tom Doyle at Mojo, and Saby Reyes-Kulkarni at Pitchfork.
Will was born in Woodland, California in 1987, spent his formative years all over the greater Pacific Northwest and mid-Atlantic United States, and has lived and worked in the Hudson Valley town of Beacon, New York for the better part of the last decade.
‘Rich, filmic folk-country… a vivid, endlessly beguiling listen’ – Uncut, 8/10 (Americana Album of the Month)
‘Outstanding… Points of Origin is a rare gem of an album. It’s music bursting with poetry, narrative, filmic suggestions, and of course, life’ Americana UK, 9/10
Tour support comes from Trippers & Askers. Trippers & Askers is the folk/spiritual jazz project of musician, sound artist, educator and researcher Jay Hammond. The group’s latest album Acorn takes inspiration from Octavia Butler’s immersive and frighteningly prescient novel Parable of the Sower. As an intertextual work, Acorn brings together a wide array of collaborators that include members of Wye Oak, Califone, former Sun Ra member Ken Moshesh and comic artist John Jennings to explore the book’s narrative as it pertains to the very real political and emotional challenges of the present. The album was called ‘a shimmering homage to nature’ by the Guardian.
Local support comes from Kirckaldy songwriter, David Latto.
His reflective style and ear for strong melody combine to produce emotionally compelling folk. Personal storytelling inspired by places and people features heavily in his songs which he delivers in a honeyed voice. David has performed across the UK and Europe, including headline slots at Celtic Connections. He has been well supported by BBC Radio Scotland, Wales and Ulster with Ralph McLean describing David as a “brilliant songwriter”.
Food and drink will be on offer from 5.30pm for donations to the church.
