June 10th 2026 - Dan Webster and Emily Lawler
Wrea Green Institute, Station Road,
Wrea Green, Preston, PR4 2PH
Dan Webster and Emily Lawler deliver a compelling transatlantic blend of Americana, country, folk, and roots. Hailing from York, UK, the duo has won over audiences across the UK and Australia with their captivating live performances and finely crafted songs.
Dan’s powerful, warm vocals and storytelling prowess draw from his Yorkshire heritage — weaving tales of family, fishing, and life’s emotional undercurrents into songs that echo with the spirit of bluegrass, country, and English folk. Whether delivering a stripped-back ballad or igniting a dancefloor at a festival, his songwriting is as grounded as it is emotive.
At his side, Emily Lawler brings extraordinary fiddle work shaped by both Celtic and country influences, along with soaring harmonies that add richness and depth to the duo's sound. Together, Dan and Emily have become favourites on the UK festival scene, playing major sets at Green Man, Shambala, Kendal Calling, and Maverick Festival.
They'll be with us having come back from their (2nd) successful tour of Australia in March.
