Transatlantic Americana with hair-raising harmonies that tell heartfelt tales of life on the road
A Different Thread, the dynamic transatlantic band, is fronted by Robert Jackson from Lichfield, UK and Alicia Best from Durham, North Carolina. They are joined by double bassist, Mike Seal, for a show that promises a unique blend of folk, blues, and Americana that has garnered praise from fans and critics alike.
The story of A Different Thread began with a serendipitous meeting, busking on the streets of Galway, Ireland. Their impromptu harmonies sparked a creative partnership that has flourished over eight years of independent music-making and relentless touring.
Folk Radio UK lauded them as ?warm, deep songwriters? with ?a strong, independent sound,? a testament to their word-smithery, which delves into themes of change, counter culture, travel, and the parting ways and reuniting that comes with a life on the road.
Known for their hair-raising vocal harmonies, intricate guitar, soulful fiddle, playful harmonica, and Alicia?s distinctive suitcase drum-kit, the duo has forged a minimalist yet powerful sound that resonates deeply with listeners.
