‘The Mountains Are Calling Tour’ brings Loch Lomond singer-songwriter Liv Dawn to audiences across rural Scotland for an evening of stories and songs inspired by the vast and beautiful Scottish landscape. Raised among Scotland’s mountains, lochs and forests, Liv often writes songs which reflect on love, change and personal growth.
Much of Liv’s writing happens during time spent outdoors – on walks, by the water, or looking out across mountain views, where she reflects on life, relationships and the experiences that shape us. Her performances evoke the peace and clarity found in nature, making them especially at home in Highland settings.
The tour celebrates Liv’s upcoming EP – a collection of songs shaped by nature, wildlife and the rugged beauty of Scotland. Blending folk, pop, soft rock and country influences, the EP marks Liv’s most expansive sound to date. Each song holds a strong sense of place, echoing the freedom, calm and emotional clarity found in Scotland’s landscapes.
Liv’s music has received acclaim from a wide range of media including BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Introducing, GO Radio, BBC Radio nan Gàidheal, The Skinny, Tenement TV, CLOUT, The Sunday Post, HMV, Heartland FM, and Northern Exposure Magazine. This growing recognition highlights Liv as one of Scotland’s most exciting new voices, known for her honest lyricism and modern folk-pop sound.
Liv offers solo, duo and full-band performance options suitable for village halls, arts centres, multi-purpose community venues and small theatres. On stage, Liv speaks openly about the moments of clarity and personal revelations found in nature, helping audiences connect with the stories and landscapes behind the songs.
Shaped by themes of hope, resilience and our relationship with nature, ‘The Mountains Are Calling Tour’ offers a heartfelt evening of contemporary Scottish songwriting – highlighting the places, people and emotions that echo through rural Scotland and beyond.
