Nashville Sounds In The Round: An Evening with Gasoline & Matches

Gasoline & Matches step out from behind the host mic and into the spotlight for a one‑night‑only showcase of the music that’s made them one of the UK’s most exciting country acts. On this special evening in the Jennifer Blackwell Performance Space, the multi‑award‑winning duo bring their full band to Birmingham, offering fans the rare chance to experience their songs exactly as they were meant to be heard: loud, lively, and full of heart.

Sally Rea and Stephen Marks have long been the charismatic anchors of Nashville Sounds In The Round, championing artists from across the UK and beyond. But this time, the focus is firmly on them. Known for their close harmonies, sharp songwriting and effortless on‑stage chemistry, they blend British grit with Nashville polish in a way that feels instantly electric. Their tongue‑in‑cheek hit “Never Have I Ever” — praised by Bob Harris as “clever, funny, totally original…and it’s Country!” — has become a festival favourite, sparking singalongs everywhere they go.

As fiercely independent artists, Gasoline & Matches have spent years lifting others up, building community, and creating space for new voices. Now, they take centre stage with the same warmth, humour and connection that have made them beloved across the UK scene. Expect big energy, standout musicianship, and the kind of storytelling that turns a gig into a night you’ll talk about for weeks.

For country fans, this is one of those shows you circle on the calendar — a chance to see a duo at the top of their game, doing what they do best.
