About Southland

A four-piece country rock band bringing Nashville energy, powerful live sound and a set shaped around the crowd.

Southland is a four-piece country rock band bringing the sound and energy of Nashville to weddings, private parties and corporate events across the South of England. We play country and country rock because we genuinely love the music — not because it happens to suit a theme. Our set brings together well-known country favourites, modern country and rockier tracks, all chosen with one thing in mind: how they work in the room. We don’t simply work through the same setlist at every event. We pay attention to the audience and adapt as the evening develops. If people are responding to the rockier side of the set, we can lean into it. If the atmosphere calls for something different, we change direction. In short, we read the room. Southland is made up of four regular musicians, which gives us a tight, consistent sound and keeps the whole operation straightforward for clients and venues. We also provide our own PA system for suitable events, giving us greater control over the quality of the live sound. Before the event, we’ll discuss the important details with you, including timings, musical preferences, favourite songs and anything you would prefer us not to play. Where suitable, we can also prepare a first dance or another special musical moment. Our approach is simple: arrive prepared, sound good, work professionally with the venue and give you one less thing to manage on the day. We’re not really a background-music band, and we’re probably not the right choice if you simply want something quiet in the corner. But if you want proper live country music, a strong band on stage and a performance that your guests will remember, that’s what Southland is built for.

Southland's Reviews

From customers:

Josh-Festival O

“Southland were professional, well prepared and very easy to work with. They arrived organised, handled the setup smoothly and delivered a strong live set that really connected with the crowd. What impressed me most was their ability to judge the audience and adjust the energy of the set accordingly. A very solid live band and one we’d happily book again.”

“We booked Southland for a company event and they made the whole process straightforward. Communication beforehand was clear, they worked professionally with the venue and, once they started playing, we didn’t need to think about the entertainment at all. The sound was excellent and the response from our guests was fantastic. They felt like a proper live act rather than a typical function band.”

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients value the energy, tight musicianship and the fact that we read the room rather than simply working through a fixed set. We aim to make the live music feel like part of the event, not background entertainment, with strong sound, professional delivery and a relaxed, straightforward approach.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

We’ve performed at a range of weddings, private events, festivals and live music venues, including Honkytonk (private party), VDubs Fest, Faces (night club), RootsN Boots(festival) . We’re equally comfortable working with dedicated event venues, outdoor stages and private locations

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Our biggest influences include Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Eagles, Johnny Cash and Zac Brown Band. We love the mix of strong songwriting, vocal harmonies, country grit and rock energy — all of which feeds into Southland’s sound and the way we approach a live set.

Do you have different line-up options?

Our standard line-up is our regular four-piece band, giving you a tight, consistent sound and straightforward setup. For selected events, additional musicians such as fiddle, pedal steel or female vocals may also be available by arrangement.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We understand that event timings can change. Just let us know as early as possible and we’ll do our best to adapt. We’ll also confirm the key timings with you before the event so everyone knows exactly what to expect on the day.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We can provide background music through our PA before the performance and between our live sets, helping to keep the atmosphere going throughout the evening. If you have particular musical preferences, just let us know beforehand.

How much time do you need to set up?

We normally allow around 60-90 min for load-in, setup and soundcheck. Access to the performance area beforehand helps everything run smoothly, and we’ll confirm the practical details with you and the venue before the event.

Can you roam around while you perform?

Our main performance is designed as a full live band setup, so we normally perform from the stage or designated performance area rather than roaming around the venue. This allows us to maintain the sound and performance quality we expect from a Southland show.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Absolutely — we’re happy to hear your favourite songs, preferred styles and anything you would rather not hear. We use that as our direction, while keeping the flexibility to read the room and shape the set around how your guests are responding on the night.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our own professional PA system is included for suitable events, giving us greater control over the quality of the live sound. If your venue or event requires additional lighting, production or technical equipment, we can discuss this with you before confirming the booking.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. If there’s a particular song that matters to you, let us know well in advance. Where the song suits Southland and we can perform it to the right standard, we can prepare it specially for your event. This can include a first dance or another important musical moment.
