Fredrik Rasten

A Glasgow concert bringing together Alasdair Roberts, a Scottish singer-songwriter, and Fredrik Rasten, with a pop, rock and indie programme at The Hug and Pint.

Alasdair Roberts is a Scottish singer-songwriter whose work draws on the folk traditions of Scotland. Fredrik Rasten is the other artist named for this evening, and the music attached to the night is pop, rock and indie, which places the programme in contemporary songwriting rather than traditional folk. Listeners who follow indie rock and pop-leaning songs will find the genre close to their tastes, while those drawn to Scottish folk will recognise one of the two names on the bill.

The Hug and Pint is a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows, so live music is central to what it offers. The evening brings two artists with different roots onto one bill, and its character lies in how their songs sit side by side. The pairing suits an audience that enjoys hearing contrasting songwriting approaches in the same night.
