Brown Horse – total dive tour 2026
Brown Horse, the Norwich-based country rock ensemble, is on the road with their justly named “total dive tour 2026.” Having evolved from a folk quartet established in 2018, the six-piece band now skillfully marries the folk and country inflections of the 1970s with the guitar-driven energy of 1990s alternative rock. Emma Tovell’s emotive vocals and guitar, combined with Nyle Holihan’s guitar work and vocal harmonies, create a rich sonic tapestry that recalls the best of alternative country and classic rock traditions.
The band’s journey from playing old-time standards and Michael Hurley covers in English pubs to recording acclaimed albums illustrates their artistic growth and commitment to collaborative songwriting. Their second studio album, All the Right Weaknesses, released on April 4, 2025, under Loose Music, follows their 2023 debut Reservoir. This new material continues to build on their distinctive sound that resonates strongly with fans of Americana and roots music.
Brown Horse’s live performances have garnered positive attention on both sides of the Atlantic, having toured extensively in the UK and Europe, as well as appearing at SXSW 2024 in Austin, Texas. Their live shows present an opportunity to experience their vibrant fusion of musical eras and styles.
