Ep. 26: British Charm Meets American Thanksgiving

In this Thanksgiving-themed episode of The Struts Life, host Leah Jones and Jed Elliott share how the band first experienced America’s iconic holiday while on tour in Cleveland, enjoying a festive dinner, football, and family vibes with their crew. Jed reflects on how Thanksgiving’s heartfelt traditions, like sharing gratitude, differ from British customs and praises its warmth.

With humor and self-deprecation, he recounts wardrobe malfunctions, on-set jitters, and the surreal experience of being part of a chaotic yet unforgettable rom-com.
