Fergus McCreadie 3 at Playhouse Theatre

About

Award winning jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie is an improviser of exceptional ability and a composer of elegant, nuanced and captivating music. He burst on to the scene with his self-released debut album ‘Turas’ in 2018 while his third studio release ‘Forest Floor’ has been shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize. He cites Keith Jarrett as his greatest inspiration but his music is rooted in a Scottish folk tradition while honouring the American and Nordic jazz legacies. The trio’s live performances are exuberant, uplifting and soul-stirring experiences that have prompted comparisons with EST and The Bad Plus for sheer excitement and originality.
