Ward Thomas
Hampshire country music duo Ward Thomas have announced an intimate acoustic UK tour for November 2023 and February 2024, following on from the release of their fifth album ‘Music In The Madness’ earlier this year.
Hailed as the UK’s most successful country act, twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas will tour the country with stripped back versions of songs from across their career.
Recording their debut album, 2014’s ‘From Where We Stand’, while still in school, the duo have since cemented themselves as pioneers in the UK Country and Americana scene, their follow-up album ‘Cartwheels’ going to No.1 in the UK Album Charts, the first by a UK country act to top the charts.
In 2019, the band were presented with the Country Music Association’s Jeff Walker Global Achievement Award in recognition of their success and impact on country music in the UK.
‘Music In The Madness’ was hailed by critics for its live sound mixed with country-pop style. Of their Barbican show earlier this year, The Upcoming said: ‘It’s safe to say Ward Thomas delivered a magical performance that left us on a high – an evening to remember.’
These unique shows will take Ward Thomas back to their early days of performing and writing together, seeing the duo perform and share the stories behind the songs that have made such an impact on country music.
