Hampshire country music duo Ward Thomas has announced an intimate, acoustic UK tour for early 2025.
Hailed as the UK’s most successful country act, twin sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas will tour across the country with a special show of stripped-back versions of songs from across their career.
Recording their debut album, 2014’s From Where We Stand, whilst still in school, the duo have since cemented themselves as pioneers in the UK Country and Americana scene; not least for the follow-up album Cartwheels released in 2016 going to Number 1 in the UK Album Charts, the first by a UK country act to top the charts.
In 2019, the band was presented with the Country Music Association’s Jeff Walker Global Achievement Award in recognition of their success and impact on country music in the UK.
Music In The Madness was hailed by critics for its live sound mixed with country-pop style, whilst of their Barbican show earlier this year, Upcoming said: ‘It’s safe to say Ward Thomas delivered a magical performance that left us on a high – an evening to remember’.
This unique show will take Ward Thomas back to their early days of performing and writing together and will see the duo perform and share the stories behind the songs that have made such an impact on country music.
