Dave Sutherland / Simon Stanley Ward

Event information

Dave Sutherland is a London based Americana singer-songwriter with nudges towards the Country Music genre. So much so, he was awarded 'UK Male Country Singer of the Year' at The UK Country Music Awards 2024. An accomplished performer filled with raw energy and emotion, Dave’s music speaks of life, love and London with the eye of an artist and the ear of a poet. His fingerstyle guitar, melodic vocal and London charm have cemented his place amongst the aristocracy of UK Americana artists.

Dave’s been treading the musical boards for 30 years, releasing his first record, ‘Navigator’, under the direction and guidance of Bert Jansch. A successful tour of America soon followed. His next albums ‘Comfortable Junction’ and ‘American Refrigerator’ cemented his popularity in the UK and elevated him Stateside with his US audience delighting in asking: “How can you speak like this and sing like that?” He was then signed by Martin Levan at Red Kite Records and his next album, ‘On The Waiting List’ was a commercial and critical success both in the UK and the US.

“Sutherland conjures up that Americana magic. His songs have the pain, joy and hint of humour that make his art and craft authentic, whether on the banks of the Tennessee or the Thames” AMERICANA UK
