Jarrod Dickenson – Small Talk Tour 2026
Jarrod Dickenson returns to the UK with his Small Talk Tour 2026, delivering a series of intimate performances that stand in contrast to the rock and roll energy of his earlier full-band tour this year. This stripped-down approach allows Dickenson to present his songs in a raw, acoustic format, offering fans a chance to connect deeply with the storytelling at the heart of his music.
Born in Texas and now based in Nashville, Jarrod Dickenson draws from a rich palette of Americana, folk, country, and soul influences. Over the course of three albums and an EP, he has developed a sound characterised by heartfelt lyricism and an authentic, engaging vocal style. His latest album, Big Talk, released in early 2023, marked his most direct and uncompromising songwriting yet, featuring collaborations with accomplished musicians such as Oliver Wood and Ethan Johns.
"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." — Jarrod Dickenson
Fans of Americana artists who blend soulful intensity with folk and country roots will appreciate Dickenson's honest and earnest performance style. His ability to weave evocative narratives into his songs resonates with admirers of artists like Bonnie Raitt and Don McLean, with whom he has toured.
Norwich Puppet Theatre
Hosting this tour date is the Norwich Puppet Theatre, a unique venue housed in a converted mediaeval church. Alongside staging its own and touring productions, the theatre nurtures creativity through puppetry workshops, creating an intimate and artful atmosphere perfectly suited to the stripped-back acoustic performances Jarrod Dickenson will bring. The setting provides a welcoming environment to experience the nuance and warmth of these songs up close.
