“She’s the real deal. Effortless on stage. Emotionally locked in. The kind of artist that wins a room quickly and keeps it. […] A genuine 10/10 performance.”
Susannah Clegg
singer / songwriter
Bursting onto the scene as one of the most compelling new talents in UK country and Americana, Susannah Clegg has been thrilling audiences up and down the country since the release of her debut EP in February 2025.
The scope of her original songs ranges from hard-driving country that sounds like it could have been written by the likes of Johnny Cash or Loretta Lynn, to vintage Western Swing that wouldn't be out of place in the dancehalls of Texas, to heartfelt cowboy ballads of the old west, all delivered with one of the finest country voices this side of the Atlantic ocean.
In the last year Susannah has been a featured artist on BBC Introducing, heralded by Rogue Country as a “rising star and trailblazer”, described as “a standout voice on the UK scene” by Rugged Revival, as well as being selected as the Americana Music Association UK member pick at Rambling Roots Revue, where her performance was hailed by attendees as one of the highlights of the festival.
On stage there are very few artists who can hold a stage or captivate an audience quite like Susannah: her songwriting is outstanding; her rootsy acoustic guitar harks back to the old bluesmen of Mississippi, embellished here and there with bluegrass-inspired licks, but it is her spine-tingling vocal performance that truly blows audiences away.
