Al Stewart

Al Stewart's name will forever be tied to his breakout hits "Year of the Cat" and "Time Passages". But there is much more to this whimsical Scottish folksinger, who weaves humor and historical figures into his polished story-songs. With twenty albums to his name, including 2010's Uncorked, he remains a distinctively literate and vivid storyteller, time-traveling and teleporting himself and his listeners from World War I battlefields to Sixties bedrooms, from ships to airplanes to ice floes, from the specific to the mysterious.
His melodies encompass folk-rock, acoustic ballads, colorful dabs of classical and Eastern music, and even a touch of Little Richard-style piano pounding.
In the spellbinding tradition of his signature songs "Year of the Cat," "Time Passages," "On the Border," and "Nostradamus," Al's latest musical short stories are both lyrically meaningful and catchy.
