The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026
The Dunwells embark on their Autumn Tour 2026, bringing their distinctive blend of rock, folk, pop, and country influences to audiences across the UK. Known for their harmonious vocals and heartfelt lyrics, this British band has steadily built a reputation through emotive songwriting and melodic craftsmanship that resonates well with fans of contemporary folk and Americana.
Formed in Leeds in 2009 by brothers Joseph and David Dunwell alongside friends Adam Taylor and Rob Clayton, The Dunwells have enjoyed a diverse career. They first gained major recognition with their debut album Blind Sighted Faith, produced in Austin, Texas, which showcased their rich harmonies and uplifting songs like "I Could Be A King" and "Hey Now." Their country music journey began in earnest with a key appearance at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, Tennessee, which forged vital connections and exposed them to the heart of Americana music.
Their latest album, Something in the Water (2020), marked a return to these country roots, inspired by their travels through American musical hubs including Nashville and Austin. With songs such as "Army of Kings" and "See You Soon," the band reflects a deep appreciation for their fans and the optimism that colors their songwriting.
If you enjoy the heartfelt storytelling and acoustic warmth found in the music of Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, or The Civil Wars, The Dunwells’ sound will likely appeal. Their ability to combine British folk sensibility with the broad emotional scope of American roots music has earned them a unique place within the contemporary scene.
