Withered Hand + Run Remedy

Withered Hand is the pseudonym of Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Dan Willson. Since the release of his debut album Good News in 2009, Dan has become a celebrated figure in the Scottish music scene and further afield. A well-travelled touring singer-songwriter, he has quietly amassed a devoted cult fanbase while staying true to a singular artistic vision.

A strident second album, New Gods, in 2014 propelled Withered Hand into the charts, featuring appearances by friends, luminaries and supporters from the Scottish music scene, from Belle & Sebastian to Frightened Rabbit to The Vaselines and beyond. A long-awaited third Withered Hand album, How To Love, was released in 2023, again to widespread critical acclaim.

Dan’s subsequent collaboration with Mercury Prize nominated English singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams resulted in last year’s album Willson Williams – shortlisted for both Scottish Album of the Year and UK Americana Album of the Year 2024.

Dan is currently working on a fourth Withered Hand LP with his friend and mentor King Creosote, due for release in late 2025.

Local support comes from Run Remedy. Run Remedy is the brainchild of violinist and evangelical escapee Robin Koob.
