“A must see!” (Whispering Bob Harris)

After two thrilling UK tours in 2024, including joyous shows at Wickham Festival, Truck Festival and Maverick Festival, we’re delighted to be welcoming Annie and her kick-ass band back to the UK, for their Portsmouth debut at the beautiful Square Tower.

BBC’s Bob Harris frequently champions Annie’s music on his BBC Radio 2 Country Show, on which Annie has made several guest appearances. Bob, who described Annie’s songs as “Wonderful, Heartfelt and Real!” has booked Annie for two of his prestigious ‘Under The Apple Tree’ sessions, and since releasing her breakthrough album “Belmont” in 2008. she has been growing in stature and reputation, having released 11 critical acclaimed studio albums.

A staple of the contemporary Americana scene, 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 a way that only the best artists can, that all of it is worth the cost.

“Keating is building the reputation her talent deserves!” (The Telegraph)

Performing as The Annie Keating Band, the line up will feature twice nominated AMAUK Instrumentalist Of The Year, rising star Joe Coombs on electric / acoustic / slide guitars, Scott War-man on double / electric bass, plus Jamie Dawson on drums.
