Bex Marshall
Musically; " An explosion of blue- hot acoustic roots rock, poker twisted with a whippin of Bluegrass. Bex Marshall has character! Her songs will show you that, an artist of jaw dropping talent, a guitarist with a unique earthy melting pot of a voice: Joplin Soul, Bonnie Raitt slide and the originality of Memphis Minnie, she belts it out, rips it up, delivers a performance undeniably HOT HOT HOT!. "Bex has a terrific voice and she plays guitar like a goddess, a cocktail of Joplin and Hendrix" (Alan Whittaker SOLFEST)
Vocally she has been reviewed by Time Out as being Joplin toned and having a unique, earthy, melting pot of a voice with the familiar tones of a half dozen great hit makers of the last 30 years. The clever and imaginative lyrics are refreshing and provoking. Well-crafted songs invite you into a story you will follow, right up until the last high-necked embellishment from her acoustic guitar.
Classical guitar playing was her first passion then flamenco to country and on to blues roots rock, she is a troubadour, telling her tales with factual humour and wit, a musical inspiration, poetry to blues, instrumental energy, sing-a-long like you known the song forever, emotional empathy and raucous interaction people gawp at her passionate playing, every gigs a winner baby! .... always Bex, but never the same!
