Rhuari Campbell, who performs as Slow for a Poet, is a singer-songwriter from Scotland’s east coast whose music sits somewhere between folk, indie, and storytelling. Influenced by artists like Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen, and Scottish voices such as Matt McGinn and Dick Gaughan, his sound also nods to King Creosote and Frightened Rabbit.

Rhuari writes honest, reflective songs about grief, love, and resilience, weaving raw ballads with melodic guitar work. Onstage, he connects naturally with audiences, sharing humour and vulnerability in equal measure, creating performances that feel personal, sincere, and full of heart.
