Following on from his last visit here when he sold-out two consecutive nights at The Sunflower, this will be the biggest concert that the tall Texan has played for Open House. We think he’s a hidden gem, and such a lovely man to work with – a true gent.

Texas-born songwriter Jarrod Dickenson’s slightly spooky melodies and words evoke a mid-Western post-war America, when cars ran on leaded gas, television hadn’t yet kidnapped the country’s imagination, and men wore hats every day. His reflective lyrics, almost like hand-written letters, remind us that human stories of lost love, sudden fortune, and abiding mystery transcend the decades… and nothing is better or worse right now than it’s ever been.

“A voice like a young Tom Waits… Jarrod Dickenson’s songs are simply breathtaking, possessing melodies many of his peers would give their left arm for.” No Depression

“Brilliant songs” Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 6
