Brad Stuart & Brian Allison Europe Tour 2026
Brad Stuart’s blend of Americana, country, and roots music creates a distinctive sound imbued with honesty and rich storytelling. Born in Michigan and now calling Nashville home, Stuart has carved a reputation for his warm, gravelly voice and lyrics that balance humour, heartache, and hope. Among his songwriting influences are luminaries such as John Prine, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, and Jason Isbell, whose impact is evident in his deeply personal, relatable songs.
Before embarking on his solo career, Stuart honed his craft across diverse musical projects, ranging from hard rock to Americana duos. His collaborations have included work with Uncle Kracker and serving as music director for The Hymns Project, while extensive touring across North America and Europe has helped build his compelling stage presence. Regular performances at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe and sharing stages with artists like James Otto and Dustin Lynch further reflect Stuart’s established presence in the country and Americana scene.
His latest album, 33 Turns & A Needle, released in 2024 and produced by Grammy Award winner Randy Kohrs, exemplifies the fusion of his Motown roots with the storytelling traditions of Americana. Featuring an impressive ensemble of Nashville and Detroit musicians, the album explores themes of faith, family, and resilience, delivering a soulful, heartfelt listening experience. Beyond music, Stuart’s passion for accessibility shines through, with his wife Elizabeth performing many of his songs in American Sign Language, inspired by their youngest daughter who was born Deaf.
Joining Stuart on this tour is Brian Allison, a Nashville-based Americana singer-songwriter and two-time Josie Music Award winner. Allison’s music is deeply rooted in family legacy and heartfelt storytelling, reflecting a blend of timeless Americana influences with a contemporary edge shaped by life on the road. His award-winning songwriting, including the acclaimed song “Worth Breaking,” and recent works like “Ordinary Day,” showcase his soulful storytelling and multi-instrumental talents. Originally from the Chicagoland area, Allison carries forward a rich musical heritage and has developed a loyal international following through extensive touring.
