The ‘UK Male Country Singer of the Year’ will play The White Horse in Stogumber on New Year’s Eve.

London based Americana/Country singer-songwriter Dave Sutherland has toured across the UK, Europe and America with his last stop this year the pretty Stogumber pub he calls his ‘second local’.

Dave was recently awarded ‘UK Male Country Singer of the Year’ at The UK Country Music Awards 2022. 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.

Dave is married to writer and filmmaker Emma Pitt who was brought up in Stogumber, attending Danesfield and then West Somerset School.

Her family still live in the village and they visit often, with Dave previously playing charity gigs around the West Country, including one to raise money for Watchet Library. His latest album Last Drop of Empty was released in March to worldwide critical acclaim and produced two Top 5 singles, with Dave then being triple nominated at The UK Country Music Awards: Best Album, Best Male Singer and UK Country Artist of the Year.

His Christmas single Nineteen Twenty-Four is currently tearing up the Country Music Charts.

You can see him at The White Horse in Stogumber (High Street, TA4 3TA) on New Year’s Eve from 9.30pm and its free entry.
