Highland Heartbeat embodies the pride and passion of a country rich with history, offering a concert that spans genres and generations from traditional Scottish compositions like "Loch Lomond" and "Down in the Glen" to pop hits originally sung by Carly Simon, Bette Midler, and Simon and Garfunkel that infuse Scottish cultural significance to the familiar lyrics. In addition, there's the 'mouth music,'a traditional and very difficult art form performed in Scottish Gaelic, whose closest American equivalent would be scatting or rapping, that is the concert's most YouTube-ready highlight and imposible to get out of your head, even if it's impossible to sing along!
The lead is Fiona Kennedy from the public TV series "Tartan TV" and a big star in Scotland, from a musical family on par with the von Trapps! The others were found in a country-wide search, the best of Scotland. Jim Malcolm has a following in the Us as well, as a folksinger.
Highland Heartbeat will appeal beyond the Scottish audience and to viewers young and old.
