Bronwynne Brent

Mississippi Delta songbird, Bronwynne Brent made a major Stateside impact with the release of her stunning Deep Black Water album back in 2011. When her equally-impressive follow-up, Stardust, hit the UK in 2014, there was an instantaneous collective gasp as radio presenters and writers discovered this very special talent and began to sing her praises here too.

Bob Harris was first to declare himself a fan and playing tracks on his BBC Radio 2 shows repeatedly, told listeners he thought her music was “absolutely gorgeous – really special!”

When the radio and TV legend, featured her music repeatedly and she became his fave rave, her arrival on these shores got off to a dream start. That was ten years ago, and, after her first run of live dates, the circuit turned white hot with excitement, she won an invitation to have her own headline show at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival, and on her second UK tour, began packing them in.

Then “Whispering” Bob invited her into his studios for TWO live sessions, at a time when his BBC Radio 2 rock show attracted one of the biggest audiences.

Now, firmly established as one of the most popular touring artists, she has also carried off the Female Vocalist of The Year award in the annual Readers’ Poll at AmericanaUK in 2019.

On tour in trio format with two of her favourite musicians – Chris Maresh on bass and Graeme Stephen (electric guitar) – get set to fall under a particularly entrancing spell.
