Findlay Napier releases his fourth album, ‘It Is What It Is’, on 1st October 2021. One of Scotland’s finest singer-songwriters, he has been described as Michael Marra meets Elvis Costello, a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright III or a Scottish James Taylor. His songs are full of earthy humour, hopeless love and biting satire. ‘It Is What It Is’ follows his 2017 and 2015 albums ‘Glasgow’ and ‘VIP’ (respectively). VIP: Very Interesting Persons (produced by Boo Hewerdine) was number two in the Daily Telegraph’s top dozen folk albums that year and categorically commanded him musical VIP status. In 2017 he turned those same supreme songwriting gifts and truly magnificent vocals to his adoptive hometown Glasgow on VIP’s hotly-anticipated follow-up. Covid did not slow Findlay down as 2020 also saw him working with his wife Gillian Frame, and composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Vass on an album called The Ledger. The Ledger is a time capsule of the 50’s folk scene containing ten traditional Scottish folk songs. As well as being invited to perform The Ledger at the prestigious TED Summit in Edinburgh and at Celtic Connections, it also made three of the top 10 end of year lists on Folk Radio UK. 2019 saw his collaboration with award-winning songwriter Megan Henwood tour across the UK in support of their Story Song Scientist’s EP. Their Quantum Lyrics tour and second EP are coming in November 2021.
