BRITISH actor-turned-musician Damian Lewis will be embarking on a tour in March ahead of the release of a new album - and he will be stopping off in Stroud. 

The 52-year-old London-born actor, who starred in the TV series Homeland and 2019 comedy film Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood, has turned his hand to music in recent years.

He released his debut album Mission Creep last year and will embark on a new set of tour dates, starting with a show in East Sussex at the Trading Boundaries on Friday March 8.

He performs at the Sub Rooms in Stroud on Sunday, March 24. 

Discussing the tour, Lewis said: “Dry January at home? You’ll be itching for some live music by March. I’m here to help.

“Me and the band are hitting the road again in March for The Mission Creep Tour Part 2. Can’t wait. Come!”

Lewis’s eight-date tour includes shows at Southend’s Palace Theatre, Watford’s Palace Theatre, Oxford’s Academy 2, Stroud’s The Sub Rooms, Lighthouse Poole, Norwich’s Epic Studios and The Junction in Cambridge.

The actor toured the UK following the release of his debut album in June and has played at festivals including Wilderness in Oxfordshire and Black Deer Festival in Kent.

Lewis won an Emmy and Golden Globe in his role as Nicholas Brody in the drama Homeland, which premiered in 2011 and starred Claire Danes and Rupert Friend.

He has also featured in TV mini series Wolf Hall (2015), adapted from Hilary Mantel’s book trilogy, action film The Sweeney (2012) and a remake of Shakespeare’s famous love story Romeo And Juliet (2013).

In 2021 his wife, actress Helen McCrory, best known for playing powerful women such as Shelby family matriarch Aunt Polly in the BBC gang drama Peaky Blinders, died from cancer at the age of 52.

The couple wed in 2007 and share a daughter, Manon, born in 2006, and a son, Gulliver, born in 2007.
