About Ewan Macintyre: Twenty First Century Fool

Listed Under Music Events / Nights Out Events

The evening brings together an array of some of Edinburgh's finest local talent, including folk superstar Rory Butler, Machine Orchid, and a new contemporary dance and music project Doom Scroller led by Alex Auldsmith of the Micro Band.

Mixing all the appealing sounds of Celtic groove, Americana folk, and stripped back-soul, Ewan Macintyre and his band take the listener through dazzling folk roots stories—filled with pizzicato cello and fiddle strings, warm and wavy guitar hooks, and of course, Macintyre’s raw, but soothing voice.

Twenty First Century Fool was recorded over lockdowns and curfews in Montreal, Quebec, and finished on the Isle of Skye. The album features signature lush string arrangements and two original Scottish Gàidhlig compositions.

In 2014 Ewan ventured to Canada where he created his first solo E.P. You Probably Look Better Naked Anyway (#3 national folk/ roots charts of Canada). This album spiraled into 4 cross Canada tours and tours in Europe, where he developed his sound and honed his skills as a band leader and songwriter.
Following a brief hiatous after the COVID pandemic, Ewan picks up the pieces with his brand new release, accompanied with a five piece band touring this May across the UK.
