Gordie Tentrees & Kieran Poile

2X IAMA (International Acoustic Music Award) winner Gordie Tentrees returns to the UK!

It’s been a big time for International touring award winning Canadian Gordie since his first UK tour in 2010 as the opening act for Fred Eaglesmith with 2 new records Double Takes (May 2025) and his upcoming release (Dandelion Blue – Oct 2026) coming out. It was just announced his song ‘Gratitude“ won the 2025 IAMA (International Acoustic Music Award) repeating the same feat he accomplished in winning a 2023 IAMA for his song “Every Child”
Most recently Dandelion Blue (Coming out in Fall 2026) was recorded live off the floor in (Ontario Canada) with Jimmy Bowskill (Blue Rodeo, Sheep Dogs), and Steve Marriner (Colin James, Harry Manx) over 5 days in a farmhouse with vintage 1930-50’s microphones, amps, and vibes conjuring up a record Tentrees has been making in his mind for 10 years leaning more into acoustic blues. This road poet has performed over 5000 concerts in 11 countries armed with 5 instruments (Foot Bass & Snare Tam, Harmonica, Resonator & Acoustic Guitars) taking the light from the dark with masterful storytelling.
