  FLORENCE SOMMERVILLE | Saturday 19 July 2025

  Florence Sommerville, a 20-year-old singer-songwriter from the small village of Orsett, Essex, is one of the UK’s fastest-rising Americana-country performers. Since releasing her self-penned debut single, the aptly-titled On My Way, to widespread radio play in October 2023, Florence has gone from strength to strength. In the UK she’s supported American singer-songwriter Diana Jones, Australian singer Ange Boxall, 1980s pop star Tom Robinson, New York singer-songwriter Annie Keating, Americana band the Track Dogs, Hannah Aldridge, Dan Owen and the Hanging Stars as well as playing both Maverick and Latitude Festivals and selling out her own headline shows in London, Brentwood, Ashford, and Canterbury.

   

  During three visits to Nashville, she co-written songs with such hit songwriters as Gary Burr, Jan Buckingham, Sally Barris and others and also performed at Songwriter Rounds at the Commodore Grille, the Cambria Hotel and the iconic Bluebird Café, where she gained a standing ovation and at last year’s AMA Week where she was chosen by No Depression as one of the 60 best performers. Earlier this year she released (I’ll Be Your) Best Broken Heart and California, the first two singles from her forthcoming debut album set for release in mid-July. During her April trip to Nashville she co-wrote a song with Eve Selis, which they intend to perform together during their shows together in July.

   

  There’s a raw rootsy quality to Florence’s music that belies her youthfulness. An assured performer, she takes total command of any stage from the outset and allows her crystalline vocals to shine on her well-crafted original songs. She doesn't arrive as the next ready-made country star beauty figure Barbie doll. There is an unquestionable realness about the way Florence makes sense of life through her music. But she exhibits a surety of mind beyond her years, to create music that connects and inspires, and that will inflame a growing fire.
