Guy Surtees - Tennessee Nights - Country guitar vocalist
Guy Surtees is a versatile musician with a particular love of Country music. His Tennessee Nights Country show features classic country hits across the decades with a few of his own compositions in the mix.
Guy has been a singer and musician since 1980 and plays guitar, bass, keyboards and drums, and is learning to play banjo, fiddle and slide guitar. With time on his hands and looking for a new challenge, Guy decided to use his thirty years of performing covers (whilst writing songs that never saw the light of day) to finally become an artist in his own right. His influences include Dwight Yoakam, Lady A, Little Big Town, Chris Stapleton, Brett Young and Sean McConnell.
Tennessee Nights is available to book across the Midlands self-contained with professional PA and stage lights.
Guy Surtees is also available to book performing mixed covers (not country music), his excellent Reggae and Ska tribute show "Special Brew", a Frank Sinatra tribute and is a member of one of The Midlands best Abba tribute bands - Abbsolute.
In Sept 2025, Guy won 3 first place awards in the UK Country Radio Music Awards - UK Male Country Singer Of the Year, UK Country Album Of The Year for "Long Time Coming", and UK Country Radio Song Award for "Thirty Minute Star". Voted for by the listeners and subscribers.
Guy's debut 4 track EP CD ‘English Country Boy’ was released on the 7th March 2023 and its headline song went straight to No.1 in the iTunes Country chart ! The second single release ‘Thanking God I’m Alive’ went to No.3.
