A rising Nashville songwriter is set to make her UK and Ireland live debut.

Jobi Riccio, a Colorado-born artist based in Nashville, will perform at Alphabet in Brighton and Hove on Saturday, October 17, as part of her tour supporting American songwriter John Craigie.

The tour also includes dates in London, Dublin, Manchester and Belfast.

Ms Riccio said: "I'm beyond excited to finally get out to the UK and Ireland, and to head back out on the road again with my pal John Craigie.

"I've heard only the most shining reports of the audiences of music lovers there, and I know it will be an incredible adventure."

She will be performing songs from her newly released album Face The Feeling, which builds on the Americana roots of her 2023 debut Whiplash while introducing a broader, indie rock-inspired sound.

Her songwriting blends personal storytelling with new stylistic territory.

Ms Riccio has already earned notable recognition in the music industry, including the John Prine Songwriters Fellowship Award and an Americana Honours and Awards nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year.
