Fresh from the Yukon and carrying the spirit of the North with them, Diyet & The Love Soldiers return to the UK this May with a run of intimate shows that spotlight their powerful blend of alt country, roots and storytelling. Led by Diyet’s unmistakable voice and anchored by the musicianship of Robert van Lieshout and Bob Hamilton, the trio bring songs from their brand new acoustic EP, Seeds Of Dreaming, out 17 April, to village halls, libraries and community stages across the country. These are the kind of rooms where their music thrives: close enough to feel the emotion, spacious enough to let the stories breathe.
Seeds Of Dreaming Acoustic Edition
Featuring five reimagined tracks from their forthcoming 2025 album of the same name, the EP will release exclusively across the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands on all digital platforms this April ahead of the band’s Spring tour. Diyet says: “When a new song begins to take shape in my mind, it often starts with a melody and rhythm, guiding the harmony and structure that follows. There’s a magical quality in transforming a thought into a fully mixed and mastered song. In this acoustic recording, we aimed to capture that raw, unedited moment in a single take, inviting you to join us on the journey of songwriting and music creation – a journey that is often forgotten when we listen to the final, polished version.”
If you like artists who balance raw honesty with atmospheric Americana, you will find something special in Diyet & The Love Soldiers. Fans of The Lone Bellow, The Weather Station or early Brandi Carlile will recognise the same emotional clarity and sense of place. Reviewers of previous UK shows have praised the trio for their magnetic stage presence, the warmth of their storytelling and the way Diyet’s voice seems to fill a room with both strength and vulnerability. Audiences often describe their concerts as quietly transformative, the kind of performance that lingers long after the final note.
This tour offers UK country fans a rare chance to experience a band whose roots stretch far beyond the usual Americana circuit. With songs shaped by northern landscapes, Indigenous heritage and a life lived between cultures, Diyet & The Love Soldiers bring a fresh perspective to the UK scene. Whether you catch them in a village hall in Cumbria or a community space in Dorset, expect a night of heartfelt songwriting, rich harmonies and stories that stay with you.
