Sorrel Nation / Sarah Jane Scouten

Event information

A double bill at The Oxted Sessions, as we welcome Sorrel Nation for the first time, alongside returning favourite Sarah Jane Scouten.

Sorrel Nation

Travelling troubadour Sorrel Nation brings a soulful mix of folk-rock to country and engages audiences with emotive lyrics, 70s inspired style and a voice full of soul that can truly open the heart. 2024 saw the release of her critically acclaimed debut studio album ‘Lost En Route’ in October, alongside performances at Black Deer, Isle of Wight and Cambridge Folk Festivals among others.

2025 has proved to be no different as Sorrel embarked on three tours and exciting festival appearances to promote her debut album and its release on vinyl in March 2025. The end of September 202, saw a release of a live EP ‘Live and Acoustic’ that was recorded whilst Sorrel travelled up to Scotland earlier in the year.

And yes…Sorrel Nation is her real name.

Sarah Jane Scouten

A four time Canadian Folk Music Award nominee, her music weaves in British folk revival elements with a continuous thread leading back to her roots in bluegrass and old time music.
