The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026
The Dunwells are set to grace venues across the UK with a richly textured blend of rock, folk, pop, and country music as part of their Autumn Tour 2026. Known for their harmonious vocals and deeply heartfelt lyrics, they hold a unique position in the British music scene with a sound that draws natural comparisons to acts like Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and The Civil Wars. Formed in Leeds in 2009, the band comprises brothers Joseph and David Dunwell along with Adam Taylor and Rob Clayton. Their journey into country music began during a significant milestone in 2011 when an invitation to perform at the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis introduced them to producer John Porter. This encounter led to the creation of their debut album, "Blind Sighted Faith," recorded in Austin and acclaimed for its seamless fusion of folk-rock and Americana.
Throughout their career, The Dunwells have toured extensively across both the UK and the US, sharing stages with prominent artists and appearing at landmark festivals including South by Southwest and Glastonbury. Their evolving sound, which has embraced electronic elements and synthesis alongside their acoustic roots, reflects a band comfortable in experimentation yet firmly grounded in their heartfelt songwriting. Their album "Something in the Water" from 2020 marked a deliberate return to these country roots, inspired by immersive experiences in American music hubs such as Nashville and Austin.
Fans of The Dunwells’ warm storytelling and melodic richness will find much to enjoy on this Autumn Tour 2026, which captures the essence of their diverse influences and dynamic performance energy. The tour includes numerous dates across a variety of intimate venues, creating opportunities for close connection with audiences.
