James Lindsay is an award-winning composer and instrumentalist who pushes the boundaries of Scottish folk, contemporary jazz, and experimental rock music. His writing seamlessly blends diverse styles, merging traditional instrumentation and tune forms with contemporary harmony, abstract rhythm, and the freedom of improvisation.

In addition to his solo work James plays double bass full time with Scottish contemporary-folk band Breabach and as a session artist has appeared on dozens of recordings and stages alongside artists such as Julie Fowlis, Staran, Blue Rose Code, Ross Ainslie, Kate Rusby, Hamish Napier, and Brian Molley. His latest solo release, Torus, continues his trajectory of experimentation in folk music, taking a kaleidoscopic look at contemporary instrumental Scottish Folk; the tunes are by times intense and expansive, darkly atmospheric and up-lifting.
