Canadian double-header coming to Barnoldswick

Two of the most exciting breakthrough voices emerging from the Canadian country scene are set to headline Barnoldswick’s Music & Arts Centre, for what promises to be a mammoth double-header performance.

Jessica Sevier and Ryan Langdon, who will headline the intimate Music & Arts Centre on Monday, September 7th, represent the new face of contemporary country music — where roots tradition collides with arena-sized hooks, Americana soul, rock energy, radio-ready production and songs that still speak directly to real life.

Between them they bring millions of streams, major award recognition, international radio success and a growing reputation as two of the most compelling young artists currently rising through the North American country scene.

The Toronto-based Sevier has quickly become one of the most talked-about emerging names in Canadian country and Americana. Sevier creates music that feels emotionally fearless and deeply personal. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Bruce Springsteen while forging a sound entirely her own, she has built a growing audience through raw storytelling, powerful vocals and songs that explore love, resilience, mental health, heartbreak and survival with unflinching honesty.

That approach has helped Sevier amass more than 2.5 million career streams while earning widespread industry recognition, including four nominations at the 2026 Country Music Association of Ontario Awards for Single of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Female Artist of the Year and Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

Alongside Sevier stands Ryan Langdon — an artist bringing the swagger, volume and blue-collar spirit of modern country-rock roaring into the spotlight. With an oak-barrel baritone voice, huge choruses and a live energy built for packed dance floors, Langdon has emerged as one of the most exciting names in contemporary country music.

Fusing the party-starting spirit of '90s country with the modern country-rock power of artists such as Luke Combs, Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen, Langdon's music captures everything country fans crave — backroad freedom, heartbreak, hard work, cold beer, reckless nights and songs built to be shouted back from the crowd.

With more than 17 million career streams, multiple Top 40 Canadian Country Radio hits and a Top 15 smash on Australian Country Radio, Langdon has become a major rising force whose music resonates far beyond Canada's borders. Tracks such as "Lit In The Sticks", "Buck Wild", "Crushin' Cans" and "Best Night" established him as a master of high-energy country anthems built for neon-lit bars, bonfires and Friday-night releases. Americana UK praised "Buck Wild" for its "fast, blistering guitars" and called it "the theme tune for the day the bars get opened again" — perfectly capturing the explosive energy Langdon brings both in the studio and on stage.

The double-header promises to be an evening where heartfelt storytelling, arena-ready choruses, rootsy honesty and modern country power collide in unforgettable fashion. Tickets are available at https://www.barnoldswickmusicandartscentre.com/jessica-sevier-and-ryan-langdon
