BRIAN SUTHERLAND

Brian Sutherland is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, recording artist, and multi-instrumentalist whose career has taken him from intimate listening rooms to international festival stages, performing alongside some of music's most recognizable names.

Raised on the beaches of Southwest Florida, Sutherland cut his teeth in bars filled with tourists, locals, and the occasional Parrothead. It was there he learned the value of a good story, a memorable melody, and knowing how to hold the attention of a room that didn't necessarily come to listen.

Since moving to Nashville in 2017, Sutherland has built a career on both sides of the microphone. He's served as bandleader and acoustic guitarist for Grammy-winning artist Colbie Caillat and toured internationally playing cello, acoustic guitar, and banjo with Danish pop sensation Lukas Graham. Along the way, he's shared stages with artists including Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, John Paul White of The Civil Wars, and Aaron Marsh of Copeland. His performances have taken him to the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, Bourbon & Beyond Music Festival, and Denmark's GRØN Festival, where he performed for a combined audience of approximately 250,000 over two weekends.

But at the center of it all is the songwriting.

Drawing from Americana and country traditions, with influences ranging from Jason Mraz to Sean McConnell and Hunter Hayes, Sutherland writes songs steeped in nostalgia, rich with melody, and grounded in the details of everyday life. A storyteller at heart, he approaches each song like a tapestry, weaving together words, vocal melodies, and guitar lines into something that feels both familiar and entirely its own.

Currently writing for Allocation Music / Warner Chappell Music, Sutherland's songs have been recorded by artists including PGA legend John Daly, who cut his song "If You Were Whiskey," as well as upcoming stars like Dave Fenley and Bryan Loweree.

Sutherland continues to take his original music to songwriter rounds, listening rooms, and festival stages. Whether he's performing for a handful of people or thousands, his goal remains the same: tell a good story, play a good song, and leave people feeling like they've known him a little longer than they have.
