ABOUT

 

Fronted by singer/songwriter and guitarist Darren Hodson, The Southern Companion are made up of some of the UK’s finest musicians, some of whom first met in the music room at school. 

​

After recording an “Under The Apple Tree” session for Bob Harris in 2016, an appearance at the C2C festival in London soon followed and a string of UK festivals that summer brought The Southern Companion firmly into the hearts of Country & Americana fans. 

 

UK, European and USA tour dates came next supporting songstress Rumer and 60’s legend Lulu.

​

Multiple British CMA Awards, Live shows for The AMA-UK, National air play on BBC Radio 2 from Bob Harris, as well as a featured song in the smash hit movie “Wild Rose” feat. Jessie Buckley & Julie Walters.

​

Here’s what people had to say about their 3rd album Shine A Little Light.

​

“An intricate, deeply personal album that plays across the whole Americana spectrum.  Imagine Del Amitri jamming with McCartney, Clapton and Gram Parsons and you'd be somewhere close to where "Shine A Little Light" will take you"

Lyric Magazine

​

"A classy Americana album that stands out"

Maverick Magazine (Shine A Little Light)

“Wonderful band, I really enjoyed their set, We all love that song here” Bob Harris – BBCR2

“In a different place and time Darren’s voice would have made him a 90’s “modern rock” god and that’s a wonderful thing as far as I’m concerned” Baylen Leonard / Bluegrass Situation
