About the show
It’s show(down)time: these two acclaimed acts from the international Americana scene have decided to face off with a co-headline tour!
This Autumn, sun-drenched country-rock from Oxfordshire meets smoky Americana from Brooklyn as the Annie Keating Band and The Dreaming Spires join forces for a highly anticipated double-bill. More than just a series of concerts, this promises to be a celebration of a quarter-century of musical exploration and a profound transatlantic dialogue woven into both artists’ songwriting.
Featuring - Annie Keating
“Unbridled, raucous … beautiful. Get yourselves along to a show. You’ll love it!”
~ At The Barrier
“Tremendous… Razor sharp rockabilly, sweet country and swampy blues, the band at full tilt.””
~ Americana UK
“Keating is the epitome of what it means to be a truly successful singer/songwriter”
~ American Songwriter
Annie Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe – in that way that only the best artists can – that all of it is worth the cost. Over the years, she’s been compared with great artists ranging from Lucinda Williams to John Prine but now, in 2022, Keating has found a UK band that takes her talent to a whole new level through undeniably great live shows that deliver unbridled, raucous joy and an infectious sound.
Following the success of her eighth full-length album, 2021’s Bristol County Tides, Keating will bring this full band tour de force to a run of fall ’22 England/Ireland shows, along with an unreleased limited-edition EP of brand new songs only available to fans on the tour.
The Annie Keating Band
Keating has brought together some of the UK’s finest players for this tour, including Scott Warman, Joe Coombs and Jamie Dawson.
The Annie Keating Band had its brilliant debut run in April of 2022, meeting audiences with a tremendous sound, energy, connectivity, talent and joy.
Scott Warman inspires on both the double and electric bass (depending on the song he moves effortlessly between the two) as well as tasty backing vocals). His experience shines through (he has toured the UK, Europe and USA with many international acts over the years and appeared on legendary broadcaster Bob Harris’s recent charity release of Stand By Me alongside the likes of Mark Knopfler and Rosanne Cash.
Then there’s rising star Joe Coombs on guitars. He’s a well-known talent on the Americana scene, playing electric, acoustic and slide guitar internationally with a wide variety of artists including Grammy nominated songwriter Yola on her Walk Through Fire tour, Jaime Wyatt, Laura Evans, Robert Vincent, Sam Morrow and Lynne Hanson.
Last but certainly not least, the Annie Keating band features rocker Jamie Dawson on drums; he’s also a regular player on the Americana scene (a member of the Dreaming Spires and Steady Habits bands) as well as playing and recording with artists like Speedbuggy USA.
“One of the most refreshing female acts to come down the pike in a long while. Deep and provocative songs.”
~ Maverick Magazine
“Keating is building the reputation her talent deserves.”
~ The Telegraph
