ONE of Scotland’s 'finest songwriters' will perform at the Beacon on Friday - and tickets are still available.

Steve Grozier's support act at the Greenock venue on Friday will be local singer-songwriter Martin Jones.

Grozier’s ability to write literate, introspective lyrics and his emotive vocals have earned comparisons with Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and Townes Van Zandt.

His debut album All That’s Been Lost garnered universal acclaim and he has performed with some of the biggest names in Americana, folk-rock, and alt-country.

His acoustic, intimate tour will celebrate the release of his forthcoming four-track Hidden Lane EP.

Tickets for the 8pm gig on September 8 cost £10 when booked through beaconartscentre.co.uk or £12 on the door.
