Jarrod Dickenson – Small Talk Tour 2026
Jarrod Dickenson returns to the UK with his Small Talk Tour 2026, presenting a more intimate and stripped-back side of his artistry. Known for his blend of Americana, folk, country, and soul, Jarrod’s performances are a showcase of heartfelt storytelling and deeply engaging musicianship. Moving away from the full-band rock and roll sound of his previous UK tour, this series of concerts will offer acoustic arrangements that lay bare the core emotions of his songs, spanning across his entire catalogue and introducing new material from an upcoming record.
Born in Texas and now based in Nashville, Jarrod Dickenson has built a respected career as a singer-songwriter and producer. His work has seen him share tours with icons like Bonnie Raitt and Don McLean, as well as perform at major festivals such as Glastonbury and Black Deer – experiences that have enriched his sound and presence on stage. His critically acclaimed third album, Big Talk, released in early 2023, highlighted his bold, uncompromising songwriting and featured collaborations with noted musicians including Oliver Wood and Ethan Johns.
"We will 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
If you appreciate the sincerity of roots-driven storytelling seen in artists like John Hiatt or Jason Isbell, Jarrod Dickenson’s work will resonate deeply. His music is distinguished by its rich blend of American roots genres and a soulful delivery that feels both authentic and captivating.
