The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026
The Dunwells, a British band known for blending rock, folk, pop, and country influences, bring their warm harmonies and heartfelt melodies to UK audiences on their Autumn Tour 2026. Originating from Leeds, England, brothers Joseph and David Dunwell formed the band in 2009 alongside friends Adam Taylor and Rob Clayton. Their music places an emphasis on rich vocals and accessible storytelling, evoking comparisons with acclaimed acts such as Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, and The Civil Wars.
Their journey into country music was sparked by an invitation to the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis, Tennessee, in 2011, where they connected with renowned producer John Porter. This collaboration led to their debut album, Blind Sighted Faith, recorded in Austin, Texas. The album received praise for its seamless fusion of folk-rock, Americana, and Brit-pop, featuring tracks like "I Could Be A King" and "Lucky Ones". Since then, The Dunwells have cultivated a reputation for dynamic live performances through extensive tours and festival appearances, sharing stages with notable artists such as Bryan Adams and Zac Brown Band.
During their career, they have continued to evolve, incorporating electronic elements while maintaining their acoustic roots. Their 2020 album, Something in the Water, marked a return to their country influences, inspired by their travels across American musical hubs like Nashville and Austin. The album reflects an optimistic outlook and gratitude toward their fans with songs such as "Army of Kings" and "See You Soon".
The Dunwells Autumn Tour 2026 features a series of UK performances including a stop at The Louisiana in Bristol. They recently shared enthusiasm about the upcoming dates, encouraging fans to check out the venues and join the concerts. The tour showcases their continued commitment to delivering captivating, heartfelt music.
