Joining FM as special guest we have the hotly tipped Brave Rival
Brave Rival are the South East’s blues-rock powerhouse, bringing a fresh, fiery energy to the genre. Hailing from Portsmouth, this UK Blues Award-nominated band is driven by the powerhouse twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick, whose harmonies cut deep with soul and raw emotion. Guitarist Ed “The Shred” Clarke delivers soaring solos and thunderous riffs, while Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums) provide the rock-solid groove that keeps the whole machine firing on all cylinders.
Drawing inspiration from blues and rock legends like Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and Tedeschi Trucks Band, Brave Rival blend classic influences with a modern edge. Their sound is both familiar and refreshingly unique—deeply rooted in blues tradition yet bursting with contemporary fire. Whether on record or tearing up the stage, Brave Rival are a band you need to hear—and one you won’t forget.
