Lauren Housley & The Northern Cowboys + guests

Lauren Housley & The Northern Cowboys are bringing their ‘Raisin’ The Vibe Tour’ to intimate UK venues this April and May. After a transformative trip to Alabama in September 2024 – where they recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and were deeply moved by the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement – they are set to bring the soul of Muscle Shoals, the spirit of change, and a set of brand-new, unreleased songs inspired by their profound connection to music, past and present.

Housley is an award-winning singer and songwriter hailing from Yorkshire – a young female artist and recent mother of two who has already made her mark with three independent albums and two BBC radio playlist hit singles. Housley’s innate talent of writing beautiful, engaging songs, was born from the intuitive craft of earthy storytelling and delivered with an emotive knock out vocal performance at their core.

Early 2022, she decided to focus on developing her live show and going full tilt with the addition of The Northern Cowboys to being a six-piece with key members Thomas Dibb and Mark Lewis. The live band has rapidly developed into a recording and performance led music outfit with a new sonic departure, garnering two nominations at the 2024 UK Americana Music Awards.

Main support comes from The 7:45s - an original soul collective from Manchester - and opening the show is Later Youth – the solo project of British artist and producer Jo Dudderidge.

Presented by Hey! Manchester.
