Leicester’s live country band
Country band for hire in Leicester
Real country music, performed 100% live
Six players · Full PA & lights · No backing tracks, ever
Live country music, brought to Leicester.
The Other Country are Leicester’s own live country band: six players, real instruments, no backing tracks. Weddings, venues and private events across the city, from the Cultural Quarter to the county border.
The Other Country are a six‑piece live country band based in Leicester. Every note played in Leicester is played live, on stage, by six musicians, from the ache of Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson to the swagger of The Chicks and the joy of Dolly Parton. Real songs, real players, real energy. We are also founders of Nashville Days, the East Midlands’ own boutique country festival.
