TIDE LINES

There’s a palpable sense of longing that pours out of the songs of Tide Lines, a folk-pop four-piece whose roots begin in the Scottish Highlands, around the country’s islands, all the way down to the bustling hive of Glasgow. The vast and verdant expanse of Scotland’s most mountainous region pervades the band’s anthemic brand of folk, but at its beating heart, their music is fixed firmly on the horizon.

Led by lead singer and principal songwriter Robert Robertson – who originates from Lochaber and spent his formative years honing his musicianship in various cèilidh bands and Gaelic choirs – Tide Lines escapist ambitions were evident from the get-go.
