Glad Town Ghost

Dale Husband aka Glad Town Ghost channels a sound usually found deep in the Appalachian foothills, as he crafts subtle layers of musical ideas out of some sweet and savvy storytelling built around the provincial northernisms and post-industrial landscapes of his native East Cleveland. Dale’s style is steeped in American folk for fans of Jackson C Frank and Cormac McCarthy.

Glad Town Ghost sees Dale return to his finger picking roots, ‘melancholic by nature and hopeful by design.’ Described as campfire indie folk and heralded by the likes of NARC. Magazine, NE Volume and BBC Introducing.

The third Glad Town Ghost EP, A New Coat of Arms, is released on November 6 and includes four new tracks of exquisitely crafted topical folk, often as bleak as they are empowering with a trademark underlying positivity.

Dale has showcased the tracks extensively throughout the North East this year, including a headline show at Café Etch in Middlesbrough, Marrapalooza and Last Train Home festivals. A further headline show followed at The Gladstone Arms in London, as well as a prestigious support slot for The Unthanks at Tees Folk 2026, plus supports for Joe Solo and A Man Called Adam earlier in the year.
