Alter States Promotions presents Live at Acanteen - Live Country and Americana Music every month in the seated venue that is Acanteen. 

Live at Acanteen 2nd Thursday Monthly in 2026 

Travelling troubadour Sorrel Nation brings a soulful mix of folk-rock to country and engages audiences with emotive lyrics, 70s inspired style and a voice full of soul that can truly open the heart. 2024 saw multiple new releases from Sorrel including a single featuring Steve Balsamo in May, the delicate and beautiful live EP ‘Thirty Summers’ in July and the critically acclaimed debut studio album ‘Lost En Route’ in October. 

Sorrel performed at Black Deer, Isle of Wight and Cambridge Folk Festivals amongst others and continues to tour the festival circuit over summer with The Magic Teapot music venue in her beloved campervan, Dory. Sorrel accomplished two successful UK wide tours in 2024, including her first ever solo tour in April and first full band tour in October to accompany the release of ‘Lost En Route’, an album Sorrel is immensely proud of.

2025 proved to be no different as Sorrel embarked on three tours and exciting festival appearances to promote her debut album and its release on vinyl in March 2025. The end of September 2025 saw a release of a live EP ‘Live and Acoustic’ that was recorded whilst Sorrel travelled up to Scotland earlier in the year. 2026 sees further tours in the spring and late autumn, the latter to support the planned release of the new studio album around November. 

And yes…Sorrel Nation is her real name.

Country music with British grit and a whole lot of heart.

Fronted by singer-songwriter Bee Ounsworth, BUCKLE N BOOTS brings together powerful vocals, real-life storytelling and high-energy modern country.

From emotionally charged originals to unapologetic country anthems, the music combines the spirit of Nashville with a distinctly British personality.

Big vocals. Real stories. No pretending.

Inspired by the sounds of Nashville but rooted firmly in real life, Bee blends heartfelt songwriting with memorable melodies and an unmistakable personality. 

A 2026 finalist for both UK Country Artist of the Year and UK Country Female Artist of the Year, Bee is making her mark on the UK country scene, with a sound designed to connect on both sides of the Atlantic.
