Scottish Singer Julie Fowlis to Perform at Barkley Theatre

Julie Fowlis, the internationally recognized Scottish folk singer whose voice soared in the Disney-Pixar film "Brave," will bring the sounds of Gaelic tradition to the Barkley Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026. The concert, presented by the Churchill Arts Council, is set to begin at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m.

Fowlis is known for her luminous vocals and her ability to blend centuries-old Gaelic songs with modern sensibilities, captivating audiences regardless of their familiarity with the language. Her performances are celebrated for their warmth and emotional depth, bridging cultures and generations.

The event is presented in appreciation of Miss Margie, whose dedication to the arts has helped make cultural experiences like this one possible for the community, organizers said.

Fowlis has received numerous accolades, including BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and Musician of the Year at Scotland’s Trad Music Awards. She has performed on stages across Europe and North America, and her voice has been streamed more than 120 million times on Spotify. One of her songs was even included on an official NASA astronaut playlist, sending her music into space.

The Churchill Arts Council said presenting Fowlis aligns with its mission to bring world-class artists and culturally significant performances to the region, enriching the community with unique artistic experiences.
