Americana artist and Comic Con icon Grey DeLisle has announced her latest record, a duo set with Les Greene, Grey & Greene, on 5th June 2026 via Hummin’bird Records/CRS. DeLisle has also shared a list of tour dates in Ireland, England and the Netherlands throughout May 2026.
The record is described as “this warm and vibrant slice of real, flesh and blood rock n’ soul is a balm to our battered ears (and psyches). Listening to it, you can practically picture the vintage equipment used to capture its sound. Even the cover art feels delightfully out of time, ensuring that future music fans might stumble upon it and marvel that it came from 2026 rather than 1956”.
Grey & Greene was produced by rockabilly veteran and multi-instrumentalist James Intveld, with original songs written by DeLisle (three co-written by Intveld), and showcases the vocal talents of DeLisle and Greene. DeLisle befriended Greene in 2024 when they did a Christmas song together called I Don’t Want Nothing that sparked a desire to collaborate further. Greene is best known for his vocals as Little Richard in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, but his bread and butter is his own Les Greene and the Swayzees, who perform their own take on soul and R&B-flavoured rock n’ roll.
Prior to the release of the album, Delisle will be playing several shows at the Kilkenny Roots Festival, followed by dates in England and the Netherlands, accompanied by Eddie Clendening and the Blue Ribbon Boys. You can see a video of DeLisle with the Blue Ribbon Boys performing Homewrecker, the opening track from Grey & Greene, below. The dates are listed here, and tickets can be obtained via the venue websites.
