Two of Americana's finest storytellers to perform in Barnoldswick

Barnoldswick Music & Arts Centre is set to welcome two of the most compelling voices in modern Americana as Hannah Aldridge and Lachlan Bryan share the stage on what promises to be an exciting evening of live music on Saturday, November 21st.

Aldridge comes from the sacred musical soil of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where music flows as naturally as the Tennessee River itself. Daughter of legendary songwriter Walt Aldridge, whose catalogue has been recorded by generations of Nashville royalty, Hannah inherited more than musical DNA. She inherited an instinct for storytelling.

But rather than follow in anyone's footsteps, she has spent her career carving out a path entirely her own. Her songs explore the contradictions of growing up beneath the weight of Southern tradition—faith, family, redemption, rebellion, love and loss—all delivered with a voice that can be simultaneously tender and terrifying.

Aldridge’s debut album Razor Wire announced an artist unafraid to expose emotional scars, while Gold Rush established her as one of Americana's most fearless lyricists. Touring relentlessly across Europe, North America and beyond, Aldridge has become renowned for performances that combine vulnerability with explosive intensity.

Aldridge will be accompanied by Australian songwriter Lachlan Bryan, who has spent over a decade building an international reputation through exceptional songwriting, award-winning albums and unforgettable live performances. He has claimed Australia's prestigious Golden Guitar Award for Alt Country Album of the Year with Black Coffee, and toured Europe and North America extensively

Bryan’s record album Some Girls (Quite) Like Country Music remains one of the defining alt-country releases of recent years. Influenced as much by Leonard Cohen, Billy Bragg and Tom Waits as Willie Nelson or Townes Van Zandt, it explores adulthood with uncommon honesty.

Expect an exciting evening of Americana inside Barnoldswick’s Music & Arts Centre, where the pairing of Aldridge and Bryan will find their perfect setting. Tickets are available at https://www.barnoldswickmusicandartscentre.com/hannah-aldridge-and-lachlan-bryan
