Jarrod Dickenson – Small Talk Tour 2026

Jarrod Dickenson, a Texas-born and Nashville-based singer-songwriter and producer, returns to the UK for the Small Talk Tour 2026. Known for his captivating blend of Americana, folk, country, and soul, Jarrod has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated following across the Atlantic. His storytelling and heartfelt performances bring an authentic and engaging style that resonates deeply with audiences.

This tour takes a more intimate turn compared to earlier full-band extravaganzas. Jarrod strips down his arrangements to the bare essentials, creating a raw and intimate atmosphere where the songs themselves stand front and centre. Expect acoustic renditions from his entire catalog, alongside new songs from his forthcoming album, following the spirit of his previously released Small Talk acoustic EP.

His most recent album, Big Talk, released in 2023, marks his most direct and uncompromising songwriting to date. Featuring a band of highly skilled musicians and notable guest artists, the album boldly asserts Jarrod's artistic vision and further cements his reputation as a compelling voice in contemporary Americana.

I have news!! In December, we will be headed back to the UK. Earlier this year we brought you the full-band rock and roll extravaganza tour. This time we're going the complete opposite direction. We'll be doing a series of intimate shows where we strip down to the bare necessities musically speaking, of course. The songs will be naked, not us. We'll be performing acoustic arrangements of songs spanning my entire catalog, as well as debuting a few of the new songs from the upcoming (yet to be formally announced) new record. We're calling it The Small Talk Tour (remember that acoustic EP of the same name that I released earlier this year?). Tickets are on sale now. Snatch em up. Id be ever so grateful.

If you appreciate artists who fuse rich Americana storytelling with folk and soulful undertones—think Josh Ritter or Ray LaMontagne—you will find Jarrod Dickenson's performances both captivating and heartfelt.
