SUMMARY:When Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:When Rivers Meet are gearing up for a massive 2025 with the release of their brand-new album Addicted To You—and they’re hitting the road to celebrate! \nWhen British husband and wife artists Grace & Aaron Bond released their latest album ‘Aces Are High’ in 2023 recorded by a river in the depths of Suffolk\, little did they know about the hurricane-strength surge of support that would carry them to become the first fully Independent Rock/Blues Band to have a Top 10 in the UK Official Album Charts. \nThe last five years have brought both public and critical acclaim. They were named ‘Band Of The Year’ for three consecutive years\, earning them a spot in the UK Blues Hall of Fame\, and the title of ‘Best New Band’ from the UK’s largest rock radio station. \nThey have developed a powerful live reputation performing sell-out live shows across two continents\, with their last live album entering the UK Official Jazz & Blues Album Chart at #1. \nWhen Rivers Meet have remained proudly Independent\, attending the 2024 BRIT Awards leading the new wave of artists to keep control over creative direction\, championing a focus on authenticity in the music industry. \nThis is more than a tour—it’s the next chapter in the WRM story. Don’t miss it.
