An Acoustic Evening with Ward Thomas 2027

Ward Thomas, the acclaimed English modern country-pop duo of twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy, return with their intimate tour titled “An Acoustic Evening with Ward Thomas 2027.” This tour offers fans a unique experience, featuring stripped-back performances that showcase compelling new material alongside beloved classics. Known as “Britain’s first country stars,” Ward Thomas have cultivated a distinctive British perspective within a genre traditionally dominated by American themes, which resonates deeply with UK audiences.

With a celebrated musical history including their groundbreaking second studio album Cartwheels—the first UK country album to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart—and their evocative 2025 single I Do, written by Lizzy for her sister’s wedding, Ward Thomas continues to blend heartfelt storytelling with infectious melodies. Their style draws comparisons to notable country-pop artists such as Carrie Underwood, Sugarland, and LeAnn Rimes, marrying polished pop sensibilities with country roots.

Their latest release, the single Patience, which debuted in August 2024, further exemplifies their evolving sound and commitment to genuine artistry. Ward Thomas have also collaborated with a diverse group of artists, including Cam, Jack Savoretti, and James Blunt, further establishing their appeal across both sides of the Atlantic.

Supporting Ward Thomas on this tour is Manchester-based singer-songwriter Robbie Cavanagh. Robbie offers a sincere blend of old-school country, Americana, pop, blues, soul, and folk influences, marked by intricate guitar work and emotionally resonant lyrics. His latest album, Tough Love, recorded live, captures a raw authenticity complemented by soulful grooves and poignant ballads. An experienced festival performer, Robbie brings his heartfelt sound to audiences across the UK.

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.”
