About A Different Thread
"A Different Thread, the transatlantic band, is fronted by Alicia Best from Durham, North Carolina and Robert Jackson from Lichfield, England.
Their story began with a serendipitous meeting on the streets of Galway, Ireland, where the two songwriters first crossed paths while busking.
Their impromptu harmonies sparked a creative partnership that has flourished over eight years of relentless touring and independent music-making.
Known for their hair-raising vocal harmonies, intricate guitar, soulful fiddle, harmonica, and Alicia’s distinctive suitcase drum-kit, the duo has forged a minimalist yet powerful sound that resonates deeply with listeners.
Their songs delve into themes of travel and life on the road, parting ways, reuniting, being at a crossroads, counter-culture, and ultimately, change. Folk Radio UK lauded them as “warm, deep songwriters” with “a strong, independent sound,” a testament to their ability to craft songs that connect with audiences on a human level.
"Nothing short of intoxicating” - Hits In The Sticks
“These guys sound like a mature bottle of wine” - Claire Cavanagh, BBC Radio Bristol
"It touched my heart” - Sam Bonham, BBC 6 Music
