Listen up, fans of all things Texas. Whisky brand Balcones has two pairs of tickets to see Lone Star State-based country singer-songwriter Jarrod Dickenson in London as part of his sold out Unplugged & Distilled tour. And our blog readers have an exclusive chance to snap them up!
We all know whisky and music go hand-in-hand. One of the finer things in life is kicking back with a dram in hand while enjoying a favourite album. This dream pairing is not lost on Texan whisky brand Balcones, which, as eagle-eyed Nightcap readers will know, has teamed up with fellow Waco native and singer-songwriter Jarrod Dickenson for a UK tour. Even better – we’ve got two pairs of tickets to give away to blog readers, courtesy of Balcones!
Two lucky winners (and a lucky plus-one each) will scoop tickets to Unplugged and Distilled – An Intimate Evening of Songs & Spirits show on 29 November 2019. It all kicks off at 19.30 at The Cavendish Arms, 128 Hartington Rd in South West London. And it’s a sold-out evening – you’ll be in for a treat!
What to expect? An atmospheric, acoustic set – two voices, a flurry of instruments, and just one microphone. And you’ll be able to savour a dram (or two) of Balcones, too. Baby Blue, Texas Rye 100 and Texas Single Malt will all be on-hand!

It’s set to be a Texas-tastic one!
Supporting Dickenson is folk singer Darrin Bradbury, while Irish artist Mark Reihill has designed all the artwork for the show. He’s perhaps best known for his work at renowned New York cocktail bar The Dead Rabbit – the booze links are strong with this one!
Fancy an evening of music and drams with Jarrod Dickenson, courtesy of Balcones? Then simply comment on this here blog post with your dream Balcones and music pairing. Let us know your top Balcones pour, and the song you’d match with it, to take you to your happy place. (It could be anything. It’s tough. We can’t pick one, but a Baby Blue/Spice Girls mix would be up there. Baby Blue/Baby Spice… it works!). T&Cs apply, see below.
Comment before 13:00 on Friday 22 November, we’ll pull two names out of a hat, and hurrah! The tickets are yours (we’ll drop the lucky duo a line by email, and you’ll have two days to get back to us. Time is tight, y’know. Jarrod waits for no one). It’s not quite a trip to Texas, but with that much Texas in London, it’s as close as you’ll get without the transatlantic flight!
Good luck, folks – and enjoy!
