BRAVE RIVAL ARE THE SOUTH EAST’S RIP-ROARING ROCK AND BLUES MACHINE

Hailing from Portsmouth, the six time UK Blues Award Nominated band features the powerful and beautiful twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick. On lead guitar, providing dramatic guitar solos and crunching rock riffs is Ed “The Shred” Clarke, and holding it all together is the rhythmic backbone, the self-proclaimed engine room of Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums).

Drawing influence from the likes of John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Tedeschi Trucks, Brave Rival offer a style and sound that you’ve always known, and yet never heard before.

Brave Rival’s highly anticipated debut album “Life’s Machine” arrived May 2022 to critical acclaim. Emerging Rocks Bands Magazine said it best when they described the album as “Boss blues energy from start to finish”. Similarly, Powerplay Magazine finished their ten out of ten review by saying that “Brave Rival have unleashed one lean, mean and well oiled machine!” The album appeared on multiple end of year, best album lists including Get Ready To Rock Radio, Rock & Blues Muse, NWOCR, Wrinkly Rockers Club, Blues Rock Review and Great Music Stories and was the 4th most played in 2022 on the IBBA charts.
