James Yorkston
pop, alternative, others, folk19.4m all-time streams (1 Nov '25)
A Scottish singer songwriter with a literary, folk bent and unconventional approach, singer, songwriter, and author James Yorkston emerged out of Fife's burgeoning indie scene in the early 2000s as part of the Fence Collective, an eclectic but like-minded creative alliance that also included King Creosote, The Beta Band, and KT Tunstall among its ranks.
Early appearances supporting U.K. folk icons like Bert Jansch and John Martyn led to a long-running contract with Domino Records , for which he produced career standouts like 2004's Just Beyond the River and 2008's When the Haar Rolls In.
