SUMMARY:A Different Thread
LOCATION:Birmingham Kitchen Garden Cafe
DESCRIPTION:- “One road is ending\, another road begins\, come on let’
 s do it over again” (A Different Thread). Some things are just meant to 
 be. Alicia Best (US) and Robert Jackson (UK) met while busking on the cobb
 led streets of Ireland and discovered both a musical and personal harmony 
 that was serendipitous. In the decade since forming A Different Thread\, B
 est and Jackson have taken their act on the road\, touring over a dozen co
 untries\, supporting artists such as Milk Carton Kids and Jody Stephens (B
 ig Star)\, and garnering critical praise from the likes of Folk Radio UK\,
  which hailed the duo as “warm\, deep songwriters that have drank from t
 he well of 20th century tradition”. Their new album\, Over Again (out Ma
 y 1st 2026)\, was written during a period of transition\, marked by their 
 arrival stateside and a solar eclipse. Recording began in their tiny home 
 studio\, continued in Sylvan Esso's Betty's (The Mountain Goats\, Watchhou
 se)\, and finished at Alma Vale Studio (Phantom Limb/Yola\, Elles Bailey) 
 in the UK. Their sound is transcontinental\, blending Jackson's British fo
 lk rock background with Best's North Carolina-bred alt-country melodies. I
 nformed by their life experiences (navigating visas\, vanlife\, love acros
 s oceans) and liberal commentary on both environmental and social justice 
 topics\, the album mixes electric guitars with Appalachian dulcimer\, gosp
 el-tinged vocals with honky-tonk fiddle. While inspired by artists like Gi
 llian Welch\, The Avett Brothers\, and John Prine\, A Different Thread mai
 ntain a distinct sound that is all their own. Alicia and Robert see the cr
 eation of Over Again as a testament to the power that music has to heal an
 d transform: “For us\, this album marks a new beginning—like a rebirth
 —as we shed negative cycles to work towards a brighter future”.\n\nBol
