About the show
Award-winning singer-songwriter Dan Whitehouse returns to the UK stage this June with a run of intimate shows previewing and launching his forthcoming album Only Love. Support at The White Room is James Thoroughgood.
Dividing his time between Tokyo and Wolverhampton, Dan Whitehouse has developed a reputation for moving, genre-defying work straddling song, story and soundscape. “I write folk songs, but not folk music,” he says, and his live performances reflect that eclectic spirit, whether he’s sat behind a piano, strapped to a guitar, or joined by long-time collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren. Dan’s expressive and delicately nuanced vocals mine a deep, rich seam of emotions and ideas.
These June dates offer an early glimpse into forthcoming album Only Love, a new body of work which looks unflinchingly at fatherhood, distance and the harsh emotional realities of a life lived in between continents.
Whitehouse’s young son lives in Japan, while his work remains in the UK. A 90-day visa shapes the rhythm of their relationship – arrival, connection, agonizing departure. Those fleeting, intense moments form the white-hot emotional core of this new album.
Alongside new material, the performances will draw from Whitehouse’s wider catalogue, including The Glass Age and Voices From The Cones, making for an audience experience that is profound and emotionally riveting.

These June dates offer an early glimpse into Only Love, a new body of work for piano and voice, created in collaboration with celebrated pianist David O'Brien who joins Dan for the tour finale and official album launch in Birmingham. Only Love, the album, looks unflinchingly at fatherhood, distance and the harsh emotional realities of a life lived in between continents.
