Bex Marshall

Name someone who's a 4 time nominee for European Blues Awards, Solo Acoustic Artist (2015-18)…?

Bex Marshall

Marshall grew up in Devon, and started playing guitar at 11. Aged 18, she began work on cruise liners and working in poker dens in the Netherlands, before moving to Australia. She later cited her extensive travelling as inspiration for songwriting. She began playing live in the 12 Bar Club in London in the early 2000s. She has cited Bonnie Raitt, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner as influences. In 2013, she won the Best British Blues Vocalist poll at the UK Blues Awards. In 2014, she began touring Russia for the first time.
Marshall plays a Fender acoustic steel-top resonator guitar. Her guitar playing has been critically praised, particularly the use of slide guitar which has been compared to Bonnie Raitt. She has been the only woman invited to play at the Cork International Guitar Festival. She is particularly keen on regular live performances, saying “If you have a good record then you should make sure you give it a good walk”.

Bex Marshall’s last release ‘The House Of Mercy’, released Sept 17th 2012, received stunning reviews worldwide along with her recent stand out sessions recorded for the Paul Jones & Bob Harris’s BBC radio 2 shows, Bex has toured the record in the UK, USA, and Brazil in the last 12 months alone. The House Of Mercy only recently won 3rd Best British Blues Album of the year Award 2013 and is featured in DOWNBEAT magazine ‘Best Album of the Year list 2013 with a rare 4 star review.

Her second album ‘KITCHEN TABLE’  released May 2008 pushed Bex to number 13 in the USA ‘UK artists chart’ and number 20 in the USA national Americana Music Association Chart. (AMA Chart).

Bex first release ‘BOOTLACE’ was released on Numinous Records in 2002 and will be available for download shortly
Bex is working on mixing a live recording of one of her shows on the 2017 USA tour  with her electric  3 piece line up, currently recording  a duet album with Jack O’Shea (the jackosheaband.co.uk) in Santa Caterina, Brazil and a solo project to support her 4 nominations for best solo Acoustic blues artist of Europe all to be released in 2019

Started in April on GoFundMe, she’s seeking donations for a new album, so since I don't think she's been mentioned on the forum for several years, despite still slugging it out - time I thought, for a memory jog, or introduction....
