About the speaker

Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nicky Murray’s evocative lyrics, raspy vocals and deft fingerpicking create a spellbinding lyricism. His sincerity and authenticity shine through, allowing him to connect with listeners immediately. Nicky began to make a name for himself in 2014 following the release of his debut album 'Plenty More Weeping’ which launched his musical career and led him to tour and collaborate with a wide array of top artists over the next four years. These include Martin Stephenson, JJ Gilmour, Elephant Sessions, Kathryn Joseph, Peatbog Faeries, Dave Sharp, Brittany & Natalie Haas, and Duncan Chisholm among others.

Following those years focused on extensive live performance, Nicky moved to the Scottish Highlands where he wrote and recorded his sophomore record 'Wintermore' (2018). This acoustic folky record of original songs explores heart and features renowned folk musicians Patsy Reid, Chloë Bryce, Emma Gillespie, Rachel Sermanni and Chloe Rodgers. He took ‘Wintermore’ on the road performing it widely, including two double-headline UK tours with songwriter Moteh Parrott. During this period, Nicky was also the Artistic Director of Sofar Sounds Inverness (2017-2020).
