Home Routes Concert Series (Feb & Mar 2026)
Iona Lane is a Highlands-based singer-songwriter whose work is deeply rooted in landscape, ecology, and folklore. Her new album, Swilkie, brings together poetic songwriting and atmospheric melodies inspired by three artist residencies on the Isle of Eigg, the Isle of Mull, and Sanday in Orkney. Each song is shaped by a strong sense of place—where lighthouses, curlews, basking sharks, lichen, and disappearing islands all find their way into her vivid narratives. Recorded in a boathouse on Scotland’s West Coast, Swilkie carries the subtle presence of the sea, with the gentle wash of tide quietly woven into the album’s texture. Iona’s music reflects her deep connection to coastal environments, expressed through evolving vocal lines, delicate guitar work, and the warm drone of shruti box. Her songwriting invites listeners into contemplative, immersive soundscapes that honour both the fragility and resilience of the natural world.

Lotus Wight creates “wildly original music played in the key of blues, ragtime, and folk.” Drawn early to the sounds of Tin Pan Alley, ragtime jazz, and Southern fiddle tunes, he developed a lifelong love for American vernacular music. As a young adult, he spent eight years touring the U.S. with an itinerant square-dance band, deepening his study of fiddle, banjo, and traditional song.
Known on and off stage as Sam Allison, Wight is a performer, producer, songwriter, festival host, and multi-instrumentalist whose mastery of banjo, upright bass, guitar, jaw harp, and bass harmonica has made him a sought-after collaborator. His work has earned JUNO, Dora Mavor-Moore, and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations. A founding member of the acclaimed old-time trio Sheesham, Lotus & Son, Wight is now focused on his solo project Original Works for Voice and Banjo, marking his evolution from revivalist to distinctive contemporary songwriter.
