Chris Brain is a Yorkshire-based folk singer-songwriter whose work draws on the British pastoral tradition, exploring themes of place, memory and emotional depth. His fourth album, Red Sun Rising (2026), presents a collection of acoustic-led songs centred on yearning and the desire for change, crafted through intimate storytelling and restrained melodies.
A regular on BBC Radio 6 Music and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show, Brain has built an international following through extensive UK and touring, including a sold-out Japanese tour. He returns in 2026 with a full UK and Ireland tour supporting the new album's release.
The Grove operates a tiered pricing scheme to ensure accessibility for all music fans, offering concessionary rates for those on lower incomes and supporter pricing for those able to contribute more, enabling fair artist payment alongside affordable ticket options.
