Allstar Blues Rock band from the UK fronted by Bex Marshall, a female British bombshell and blues guitarist, tours her critically acclaimed new album FORTUNA, showcasing her award winning vocals and songwriting skills.
PERFORMER BIO:
As a UK British Blues Award winner and four time European Blues Awards nominee, Bex Marshall’s unique style of guitar playing is a combined technique of Slide, Blues-rock, Ragtime and Roots pickin’.
Her voice is a powerful melting pot of an old Black woman’s heartache and rock diva soul. Bex is a writer of distinction and notability; she pushes the boundaries of Blues, and her songs have been called timeless and touches of genius. She now tours internationally as a solo act or with a three piece band which augments her unique style of virtuosic playing. Born in Plymouth, Devon, she is the product of two very different families; her fathers side – blue-blooded, landed gentry (her great grandfather was the Squire of Cornwall) and her mothers side, Irish-Romani (her great Grandmother was the original fairground fortune teller Madam Olga).
As a child, during family gatherings her uncles would always play and stand her on the table to sing. At 11-years old, she was given a 1963 Gibson Hummingbird by her Uncle David and started playing. She got hooked on instrumentals and classical guitar standards which stretched her fingers and gave her a great basis for her own music to develop. She started with flamenco, then ragtime and country chicken pickin’ to rock and on to blues and roots where she is now in her element.
She always had a passion for traveling, it’s in her blood. She trained as a croupier at 18, then began her travels around the world – working gaming tables on cruise liners to Park Lane, even dealing illegal poker games in Amsterdam. She hitchhiked the coast of Australia on cattle trains and was always with a guitar on her back, living and storing tales.
Bex was asked to be the guest JANIS by ‘Big Brother and the Holding Company’s original guitarist Sam Andrews on their 2014 European Tour.
