The versatile singer-songwriter — raised in the Gaelic tradition by her parents Calum Kennedy and Anne Gillies — is equally at ease performing heartbreaking highland ballads, swinging jazz, emotive country ballads, or get-up-and-dance pop.
Since lockdown in 2020, Fiona Kennedy and a host of musical friends have performed a weekly hour-long Kitchen Concert — with over a million people tuning in on Mondays over the past two years.
It provided the springboard for announcing her autumn tour in which Fiona Kennedy will take her much-loved formula, combining musicianship and friendship, from computer screen to stage shows at the following venues:
22 September 2022 – The Piping Centre, Glasgow
23 September 2022 – Theatre Royal, Dumfries
14 October 2022 – Town Hall, Elgin
15 October 2022 – Inverness Cathedral, Inverness
3 November 2022 – Tivoli Theatre, Aberdeen
More dates to be confirmed.
Looking forward to her concert dates this autumn, Fiona added:
“If the past two years have taught me anything, it’s that there’s no better mix than musicianship and friendship. And it’s that essence my new show seeks to capture and take to a venue near you this autumn, with tour dates already announced for Glasgow, Dumfries, Elgin and Inverness.
“I’ve been back in the studio in the past few weeks, recording some brand new songs with producer and musician Calum MacColl (son of Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl) and also featuring Antony Chipperfield who will join me on tour.
“Nils Elders and I have also written and recorded two quite poppy songs – which have certainly lifted our spirits. I would say at this rate we’ll have a great new album ready to take on the road.
“The joy has been singing such a range of music — country classics, some old Scottish favourites, songs to get you singing along to, and songs to get you up on the dance floor.
“At their heart, these shows will be a celebration — the road below me, the road ahead, the path towards better times, reconnecting and living for good music and good friendship.
“I’ll see you on the road!”
