Jenny Sturgeon
Jenny Sturgeon is a Scottish singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist. As a solo artist, she has released two acclaimed albums. Her music combines field recordings with sonic and lyrical imagery which is bound together by common threads of nature, folklore and the connection people have with the landscape. Jenny's album 'The Living Mountain' was nominated for the 2021 Scottish Album of the Year awards and won Best Acoustic at the 2020 Scottish Alternative Music Awards. Jenny's most recent work paths.made.walking is a series of 33 located sound recordings which chart her journey walking the Scottish National Trail, an 864km trail which starts in Kirk Yetholm and ends at Cape Wrath Lighthouse.
Musical collaborations include writing and performing in the critically acclaimed alt-folk band Salt House and in the bird and kitchen-disco inspired band Birdvox, an evolution of migration inspired project Northern Flyway; a Creative Scotland and PRS Foundation funded audio-visual project that Jenny co-wrote with Inge Thomson - described as "like watching a David Attenborough documentary but with awesome music!”.
