Annie Keating Band Announces Autumn 2025 UK Tour
Brooklyn singer-songwriter Annie Keating brings her crack UK band back on the road this autumn for a thirteen-date tour, featuring exclusive new vinyl albums only available at the shows.
It’s a real treat for UK fans that Annie, originally from Brooklyn, New York, has announced dates for her 2025–2026 UK tour. The Annie Keating Band features Keating on acoustic guitar and vocals, rising star Joe Coombs on electric/slide guitars, Scott Warman on bass, and Jamie Dawson on drums. New vinyl albums will be available exclusively at UK shows.
Annie’s voice combines a sweetness and vulnerability with harder, edgier rock tones, and live performances are an experience of emotional connection between band and audience. The performance of “Lovesick Blues” at The Live Room is a perfect example of her skill and control in both vocal and musical delivery, conveying an essence of restrained, underlying power. Described as “a must see” by Bob Harris of BBC Radio, there is an authenticity in experiencing the band live that captures a magic better than any words can. — watch it here☟
When talent-spotted in the UK by Bob Harris, Annie had already garnered much attention and critical acclaim stateside, drawing comparisons to Lucinda Williams, Dylan, and John Prine. She is lauded by The Daily Telegraph as “building the reputation her talent deserves.” The Annie Keating Band combines elements of folk, rock, and blues with a unique edginess and honesty in delivery that demands attention. Her music has a transportational quality, conjuring images of times and places we might never have physically inhabited but which resonate with the universal themes of gritty, heartfelt survival.
Her brilliant UK live band showcases a back catalogue of eleven studio albums. Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe — in that way that only the best artists can — that all of it is worth the cost.
