04-10-24 A Different Thread

We were very excited to host A Different Thread - a transatlantic band, fronted by Alicia Best from Durham, North Carolina, and Robert Jackson from the Midlands of England, the two met busking in Ireland in 2016, and have been on the road ever since, touring and creating original music together.

Celebrated by the BBC and NPR radio, they have shared billings with Steve Earle, and their intimate blend of raw vocals and atmospheric instrumentation is reminiscent of The Band, Bert Jansch, and Joni Mitchell.
