James Edwyn & The Borrowed Band

**James Edwyn & The Borrowed Band** are a Glasgow-based collective blending gritty Americana with a Scottish soul. Fronted by singer-songwriter James Edwyn, the group crafts lush, storytelling-driven tunes that channel the warmth of classic alt-country while nodding to their roots in Scotland’s vibrant music scene. Known for their dynamic live shows and rotating lineup of talented collaborators (hence the “Borrowed Band” moniker), they’ve carved out a niche with releases like *Highlights of the Low Nights* and tracks such as the anthemic *Hold On* and the introspective *The Tower*. Their sound—rich with harmonies, pedal steel, and Edwyn’s weathered vocals—feels equally at home in a dusty roadhouse or a Glasgow pub, offering a heartfelt mix of twang and Celtic charm.
