An Acoustic Evening with Ward Thomas 2027

Ward Thomas, the acclaimed English modern country-pop duo made up of twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas, continue to captivate audiences with their heartfelt melodies and relatable themes. Celebrated as “Britain’s first country stars,” they bring a uniquely British perspective to a genre often dominated by American narratives. Their record-breaking second studio album, Cartwheels, was the first by a UK country act to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified silver in the UK.

Their upcoming event, An Acoustic Evening with Ward Thomas 2027, promises a stripped-back, intimate experience. Ward Thomas shared with fans: “We can’t seem to stay off the road!! Come and see us in May for a stripped-back, intimate evening, showcasing some brand new material alongside a few WT classics.” This setting will be a perfect opportunity to hear new songs performed with the warmth and sincerity that characterizes their music, along with some beloved favorites.

Ward Thomas’ latest single, Patience, released in August 2024, reflects their evolving artistry and continues to build on their reputation for strong songwriting and harmonious vocals. Their music, often compared to the poppier end of country represented by artists like Carrie Underwood and Sugarland, is appealing both to UK fans and international country music admirers alike.

Supporting Ward Thomas on this tour is Katherine Priddy, an English folk singer-songwriter renowned for her haunting vocals and intricate finger-picking guitar. Priddy’s emotive storytelling and rich musical texture offer an excellent complement to Ward Thomas’ elegant country-pop sound, promising concertgoers a full evening of evocative music.
