Ags Connolly Album Launch Shows
Ags Connolly, a prominent figure within the UK’s country music scene, returns to the stage as part of his “Ags Connolly Album Launch Tour 2026.” Known for his soulful twang and deeply authentic approach to traditional country music, Ags hails from Oxfordshire, England, and has gained a reputation as one of Britain’s most genuine country singer-songwriters. His dedication to the roots of country is evident in his extensive discography, including his recent tribute album “Your Pal Slim: Songs of James Hand,” released in November 2024. This album pays homage to Texas troubadour James Hand and features contributions from musicians closely linked to Hand’s legacy, blending heartfelt storytelling with classic Texas-style country influences.
This special event is a change to experience the new album Yesterday’s Man, live and in person
Celebrated in the press as “an English Willie Nelson” by Country Music Yesterday’s Man Album LaunchPeople magazine and praised by American critic sites for carrying the “country music holy ghost,” Ags delivers a style that honours traditional honky-tonk and singer-songwriter roots. His live performances are characterized by tender musicianship and a tenacious vocal delivery, resonating strongly with fans who appreciate authentic, roots-driven country music. Throughout his career, Ags has shared stages with notable country icons like Rosanne Cash, Dale Watson, and Jim Lauderdale, confirming his position as a respected artist within the genre.
Joining Ags on this tour are two exceptional artists who complement his vision. Luke Jack, a London-based singer and guitarist known for his blend of blues, soul, bluegrass, and country, brings a heartfelt and authentic energy drawn from deep roots influences. His debut solo single “Forever Free” encapsulates themes of personal liberation and soulful storytelling, making him a compelling presence in the UK country music landscape. Also featured is Sarah Jory, acclaimed worldwide as “The Princess of the steel guitar,” whose decades of collaboration with celebrated musicians and expressive pedal steel playing add a unique depth to the show.
