Lauren Housley & The Northern Cowboys at Cooper's BBQ

Date TBA

Lauren Housley, is an award-winning singer and songwriter hailing from the UK and a young female artist and recent mother of two who has already made her mark with three independent albums and two BBC Radio playlist hit singles. Housley’s innate talent of writing beautiful, engaging songs, was born from the intuitive craft of earthy storytelling and delivered with an emotive knock out vocal performance at their core.

Early 2022, she decided to focus on developing her live show and going full tilt with the addition of The Northern Cowboys to being a 7 piece with key members Thomas Dibb and Mark Lewis. The Live Band has rapidly developed into a recording and performance led music outfit with a new sonic departure, garnering two nominations at the 2024 UK Americana Music Awards for her song “High Time” (WON) and Live Act Of The Year, with UNCUT describing the climate change anthem as “a bulldozing Country-Soul sound”.
