Info
On 14 October 2026 at YES in Manchester, John Craigie brings his conversational folk and understated storytelling to the stage. For more than a decade, he’s built songs that feel like they’re spoken across a table, carried by acoustic guitar, harmonica and a dry sense of detail. His new album, I Swam Here, threads that approach through warm, rootsy arrangements shaped between New Orleans and Astoria. Expect fresh material like Fire Season, Dry Land and Edna Strange, pieces that lean on close harmonies, nylon-string leads and easy, unhurried grooves. Longtime ally Anna Moss colors much of the record, with players from The Deslondes circle adding subtle swing and atmosphere—clues to the palette he brings live. Craigie’s shows move between story and song with a relaxed pace, drawing you in without fuss.
Opening the night, Jobi Riccio sets the tone. A Nashville-based songwriter originally from Colorado, she writes with a clear, melodic touch that sits between country and folk. Her stripped-back set is the right preface to Craigie’s world, all about the song, the voice and the small details that stick.
