Prepare for a summer infused with raw emotion and unfiltered musicality as Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ridge Banks crosses the Atlantic to bring his signature “Rugged Acoustic” sound to the United Kingdom. Marking his first-ever UK appearance, Banks—alongside his band The Wall of Sound—will launch the "Cowboys and Foxes Tour" this August, with performances scheduled across Loughborough, Leicester, Sheffield, Essex, Hinckley, and Bristol Harbour.

Originally from Fenton, Michigan, Ridge Banks has emerged as a distinct voice in the Americana landscape. Now rooted in Nashville, his music blends the storytelling grit of folk with the finesse of intricate fingerstyle guitar—echoing the legacy of Jim Croce and Eric Clapton. Seamlessly bridging blues, rock, and country, Banks crafts a soundscape that resonates with fans of modern troubadours like John Mayer and Ed Sheeran.

Ridge's rising international acclaim is no accident. A finalist for Best Male Artist at the International Acoustic Music Awards and recently named USA Artist of the Year by the Elite Music Awards (2024), his music is winning hearts across continents. His latest single, “Blues Catcher” (released January 2025), brings together musicians from both sides of the pond, showcasing a sonic fusion that mirrors the tour’s transatlantic spirit.

Backed by The Wall of Sound, Banks brings more than just music to the stage—he delivers experience. The Cowboys and Foxes Tour promises audiences a dynamic blend of rich harmonies, roots-driven rhythms, and the lyrical honesty that defines his work. From intimate venues to vibrant festivals, each performance is set to be a heartfelt journey through Americana’s evolving sound.
