A budding Edinburgh music star has been selected to take part in Scotland’s esteemed youth music touring project Hit The Road, which will see three emerging artists perform at venues across Scotland this December.
Corin will headline Assai Edinburgh on Friday 13th December having been handpicked and whittled down from hundreds of applications.
Run by the Scottish Music Centre and now in its 11th year, Hit the Road stages an average of three national tours a year for a small number of selected artists aged 14-19.
The initiative aims to nurture the next generation of talent and give them a platform to showcase and hone their live performance skills, following in the footsteps of acts like Lewis Capaldi and Be Charlotte who came up through the scheme.
December will be the first tour of the 2024-25 season and see three young Scottish acts each headline a show in their hometown and support the other acts at their local venue.
Edinburgh audiences will get the chance to hear the indie-folk-soul souls of hometown talent Corin, alongside busking sensation James Low and emerging singer songwriter Daisy Mack.
Born in Fife, James Low moved to Edinburgh last year and began turning heads in the music scene with his songwriting and passionate voice. James has been gigging and busking relentlessly since he decided to fully devote himself to his craft.
Daisy Mack has been playing music for as long as she can remember – singing with her mum in the car, singing in choirs and playing the piano and the guitar. Daisy is already making a name for herself having won a lyric writing competition for the reopening of the Aberdeen Music Hall, released 15 songs, written many more and performed at the Aberdeen Arts Centre.
Corin has her soul-infused indie-folk sound and draws inspiration from the small details and big feelings in life to create relatable songs and has a fierce love of music and its many genres.
Since its inception in 2013, Hit The Road has been instrumental in aiding the journeys of aspiring young musicians across the country, offering a platform for growth, networking and artistic expression and supporting over 300 musicians across 120 live performances and hundreds of industry sessions.
All Hit The Road gigs held throughout the touring season are hosted in safe venues across Scotland which are suitable for ages 14+.
