Myshkin’s Ruby Warblers

Based in HIGHLAND

Music

Casually sophisticated original folk/jazz with a fiery, swinging string band energy.

Myshkin is known for her rich alto voice, complex melodies, and story-poems subtly asking big questions about work, love, struggle and change, from a fiercely egalitarian perspective. Jenny Q brings her cello, beats, harmonies, and Arab influence to the mix.

Through three decades of composing and recording, touring and collaboration, Myshkin's curiosity has inspired her migrations and kept her music evolving. Combining the eye of a perennial outsider and a facility for incorporating musical traditions, the songs reflect a multi-faceted life. Raw-folk, nomad-swing, torchjazz, punk-poetry, desert-blues, post-rock, no pigeonholes. Stubbornly true to wherever the road leads.

Awarded a Global Talent visa to live and work in the UK in 2022, Myshkin's Ruby Warblers have made their home in the Scottish Highlands.

One of the best songwriters around...oh, and she sings like a dream too!
—FRoots

Myshkin is a giant among songwriters. well observed, unflinching, tender, bitterly funny songs.
—City Life

Darkly joyous, endlessly restless, and spellbinding. A masterfully mercurial, seductive voice.
—Sing Out
