Sorrel Nation with full band + guest Eddy Smith

Sorrel Nation

“You have a signature voice, when I hear you sing I will know it is Sorrel Nation” – (Richard Elkington, Owner The Drawingroom Chesham)

“Sorrel’s voice is off the scale stunning” – (Gill Tee, Co-founder Black Deer Festival)

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 multiple new releases from Sorrel including a single featuring Steve Balsamo in May, the delicate and beautiful live EP ‘Thirty Summers’ in July and the critically acclaimed debut studio album ‘Lost En Route’ in October. Sorrel performed at Black Deer, Isle of Wight and Cambridge Folk Festivals amongst others and continues to tour the festival circuit over summer with The Magic Teapot music venue in her beloved campervan, Dory.

Sorrel accomplished two successful UK wide tours in 2024, including her first ever solo tour in April and first full band tour in October to accompany the release of ‘Lost En Route’, an album Sorrel is immensely proud of. 2025 will be no different as Sorrel embarks on three tours and exciting festival appearances to promote her debut album and its release on vinyl in March.

And yes…Sorrel Nation is her real name.

Eddy Smith

“Smith’s distinctive rasp introduces an intensity that many can’t tap into” – Holler Magazine

Captivating audiences with his unique, husky voice and tasteful piano accompaniment, Eddy Smith has been making his mark on the UK’s growing Americana scene. Widely recognised as one of the major male vocalists on the Country Soul and Blues circuit, his infectious melodies and soulful song-writing has drawn comparisons to the likes of Joe Cocker, JJ Grey and Marcus King to name a few.

Deemed a festival favourite since appearing on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages including The Isle of Wight Festival, Black Deer, The Long Road, Americana UK Festival, Cambridge Folk, The British Country Music Festival and more, along with prestigious support slots such as opening for George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall, Eddy Smith and his band, The 507, have gained recognition as ‘ones to watch’ on the UK Roots scene.
