Jamie Sutherland is an acclaimed singer and songwriter, who over a seventeen year career as frontman of critically lauded Broken Records (4AD, JSharp) and through his own acclaimed solo work, has carved a name as one of Scotland’s most distinctive voices. Realising that he was writing more music than could ever be used for Broken Records, songs featuring a totally different, more relaxed and pared back folk sound, Sutherland released his first solo record “Bruise” in 2020 to critical acclaim, having originally written and recorded it in 2017 with support from a backing group of musicians, friends and colleagues around the Edinburgh musical community including members of Meursault, Eagleowl and Stanley Odd. Sutherland also works as Creative Director of the Rural Arts organisation SEALL, and for the last ten years has been the founder of Nothing Ever Happens Here and music Programme Manager at Edinburgh’s seminal Summerhall Arts Venue.
