Description

Michael McGovern is a Glasgow-born singer-songwriter whose poetic lyrics and fingerpicked

nylon-string guitar craft a deeply emotional folk sound. His debut album, Highfield Suite (2021),

recorded during isolation in 2020 and produced by Bill Shanley, earned critical praise across

the UK and Ireland. Including BBC Album of the Week, RTE Lyric feature, and an

“unexpected gem” nod from folk legend Paul Brady.

Michael McGovern returns with 10 captivating new tracks that mark a clear evolution in his

sound and solidify his place as one of the standout songwriting talents of his generation.

Including ‘Evelyn’, a breakout track that went viral earlier this year, racking up over 100k

streams and inspiring widespread covers online.

SUPPORT: Scott C. Park - delivers catchy slacker-indie confessionals that are razor-sharp, loose and swaggering all at once, with powerful walls of vocal harmonies and guitar solos that hold on for dear life. Growing up on his family’s campsite on the remote Isle of Lewis has given the singer-guitarist a unique perspective on the world: an island where oppressive presbyterianism lives alongside rich celtic tradition, where every village has its quirky characters and every stone has a story.
