Event information

We are extremely proud to say Jarrod Dickenson is coming all the way from Texas via Brooklyn New York to play some of his amazing Americana for us.

Biography
Storytelling is something of a Texas tradition. Tall hats and even taller tales are woven into the fabric of The Lone Star State, and singer-songwriter, Jarrod Dickenson can spin a yarn with the best of them.
Hailing from Waco, now based in Brooklyn, Dickenson spends most of his time on the road bringing his own particular brand of soulful americana to a wide variety of music loving audiences around the globe.
Jarrod's critically acclaimed album 'The Lonesome Traveler' and his EP 'Songs From Willow St' paved the way for him to tour the UK, Ireland and Europe extensively over the last several years, gaining him legions of fans, including BBC radio hosts Dermot O'Leary, Cerys Matthews, Huey Morgan, Janice Long, Robert Elms and Alex Lester - all of whom have played Jarrod's music on their shows.
2015 was a banner year for Jarrod with breakout performances at Glastonbury and Larmer Tree Festival, and highly successful tours supporting the legendary Don McLean in Ireland and Europe, and a 21 date tour of the UK supporting The Waterboys. The day after the month-long tour with The Waterboys ended, Jarrod found himself hunkered down at Echo Zoo Studios in Eastbourne, England along with friends and musical cohorts for five days in early December to record his next album, which is currently slated for a 2016 release.
"If you can catch him, you should...he reminds me of this cat, Gram Parsons" -Huey Morgan, BBC Radio 2
“A voice like a young Tom Waits...Jarrod Dickenson's songs are simply breathtaking, possessing melodies many of his peers would give their left arm for.” - No Depression
"An incredible talent" -Janice Long, BBC Radio 2
"Dickenson has a superb, expressive voice..." -Country Music People (5 Star Review)
"Brilliant songs" -Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6
