Jenny Sturgeon is a Scottish singer-songwriter and musician whose work embodies her deep connection to the natural world, often interweaving folk music with environmental themes. Her evocative songwriting and haunting vocals are a reflection of the wild landscapes and folklore of her home in Scotland. Sturgeon's music has been celebrated for its rich, atmospheric quality and its ability to transport listeners to the rugged shores and windswept moors she draws inspiration from.

With a back catalogue that includes the ethereal and critically acclaimed album "From the Skein," Sturgeon has established herself as a distinctive voice in the folk music scene. She released "The Wren and the Salt Air" in 2017, a commission by the National Trust for Scotland, to mark the 30th anniversary of the St Kilda World Heritage Site for nature, and this was not only a significant milestone but also a testament to her commitment to ecological themes. Her more recent works include "The Living Mountain," an audio-visual project inspired by Nan Shepherd's book of the same name, exploring the Cairngorms mountain range, and the single "Air and Light (Radio Edit)." Jenny Sturgeon’s music is characterized by its lyrical storytelling, the melding of traditional instruments, and her deep respect for both cultural and natural heritage.
