An artist moving fluidly between music and theatre, Finn Anderson is one of Scotland’s most enchanting storytellers—one who finds magic in the borderlands between past and present, myth and memory, human and more-than-human. With a voice as tender as it is commanding, his songs stretch from whispered confessions to sweeping drama, strung together by striking lyrics that go straight for the heart.
Born and raised on the east coast of Scotland, Finn grew up immersed in music, theatre and nature—influences that continue to shape his creative world. His critically-acclaimed second album, Into the Arms of Ghosts, brought together some of Scotland’s most exciting cross-genre musicians and was praised for its cinematic scope and unflinching honesty, drawing comparisons to Sufjan Stevens, Perfume Genius, and Rufus Wainwright. Touring the UK and beyond, he has shared stages with artists including Rachel Sermanni, Douglas Dare, The Magic Lantern, James Yorkston and Sam Lee. A regular collaborator with Bogha-frois: Queer Voices in Folk, Finn is part of a growing movement of LGBTQ+ artists reimagining Scottish tradition.
As a theatre-maker, Finn co-created the award-winning musical Islander, which has taken him from rural community halls in the Highlands to Off-Broadway in New York. His music has been featured on BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Scotland.
Whether performing solo or crafting large-scale theatre, Finn's work is united by a desire to connect—to hold space for feeling, questioning, remembering, dreaming. His stories and songs invite you to listen more closely to the world around and within you.
