Info
A Different Thread return to tour the UK with their new album "Over Again", live at The Cluny on October 4, 2026 at 6:30 pm.
"One road is ending, another road begins, come on let's do it over again" - A Different Thread
Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobbled streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony. In the decade since forming A Different Thread, Best and Jackson have toured over a dozen countries, supporting artists such as The Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (Big Star).
Their sound blends Jackson's British folk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. Their songs are informed by their life experiences (navigating visas, van life, love across oceans) and commentary on environmental and social justice topics. While inspired by artists like Gillian Welch, The Avett Brothers, and John Prine, A Different Thread maintain their own sound.
