Nashville-based country singer Jeremy McComb is set to perform at Steam Machine Brewing Company in County Durham as one of only three shows on his UK tour.
In 2025, McComb played at the Newton Aycliffe brewery for the first time, selling out the venue and loving it so much he put it on his list of places to which he wanted to return.
The show, on Monday, September 14, will once again see McComb supported by multi-award-winning singer Gary Quinn.
The mini-tour will be Idaho native McComb’s second UK trip of the year, having visited in May to headline the tenth anniversary of Buckle & Boots Country Festival, near Manchester, and his last shows in the UK until at least 2028.
Last year, a 100-strong crowd packed the brewery for an evening of stories and song.
Speaking of his return to Steam Machine, he said: “I think it’s one of those places that it’s kind of built for that situation, it felt like it was really intimate. Everybody’s close up, everybody had a great time. You could hear amazing in there. And even though it wasn’t probably necessarily set up as a listening room per se, it certainly acts as one.
“We had so much fun in there last time and the connection was so incredible that anytime you get the chance to feel that or do that, I think that I always want to go back to that stuff, so it’s like going back into those rooms making more friends and I think more people probably that haven’t been there before will have the opportunity to come see it as well, because it was packed out last time and it was so much fun.”
Gűlen Smith, Co-Owner of Steam Machine, said: “It’s not every day a Nashville singer and songwriter turns up to play at a local brewery in Newton Aycliffe. His last show here sold out and was a brilliant night, so getting him back is something we’re genuinely excited about. Opportunities to see an artist like Jeremy this close to home don’t come around very often.”
Tickets for the show start at £10 and are available from www.ticketpass.org
