A Different Thread Bring Award-Winning Americana to ManchesterNorth Carolina-based duo A Different Thread return to the UK this October for a 20-date tour supporting their latest album, Over Again.Alicia Best from the US and UK-born Robert Jackson first met while busking on the streets of Ireland, going on to build a distinctive transatlantic sound rooted in British folk-rock, Appalachian blues and North Carolina alt-country. Their harmony-led songs combine original storytelling with themes of change, resilience, connection and finding hope in difficult places.Over Again, released in May 2026, has received international recognition, with the title track winning the Folk/Americana category at the 2026 International Acoustic Music Awards. The album has also earned ★★★★ from Rolling Stone Germany and ★★★★★ from RnR Magazine which noted their "harmonies to die for" and "all killer no filler" sound.Live, A Different Thread brings together acoustic guitar, fiddle, harmonica and suitcase drums, creating a show that moves from intimate storytelling to foot-stomping energy and audience singalongs.For this tour, A Different Thread will be joined by Birmingham double bassist Mike Seal, who is also featured on the album. Support for this show comes from Dogwood Rose.Experience the songs and stories of Over Again live, and share in an evening of music about new chapters, second chances and starting overSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5CntgQQt3H4CZ4HsliJGAH Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/adifferentthread Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/adifferentthread Website: https://www.adifferentthread.com/Bandcamp: https://adifferentthread.bandcamp.com/
