Bronwynne Brent trio (USA) + Basset (Canada)

Bronwynne Brent Trio

When BBC radio and TV legend, ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris first discovered Mississippi Delta songbird Bronwynne Brent and she became his ‘fave rave,’ her arrival on these shores got off to a dream start. After her first run of live dates, the circuit turned white hot with excitement, she won an invitation to appear at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections festival, and on her second UK tour, began packing them in. Then 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. 2019/2020 she twice carried off the Female Vocalist of The Year award in the annual Readers’ Poll at Americana UK.

“A voice that is timeless in timbre and phrasing, recalling in turn Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee and Amy Winehouse” – David Innes, RnR magazine

Toronto-based folk duo, Basset, are full of timeless heart, with deeply human lyrics and stunning duo harmonies.

” The folk harmonies, though, are what really won my heart over with Basset. The duo remind me a little of the Milk Carton Kids blended with a Rawling Welch style as well. It’s an outstanding sound […] Close your eyes and listen; I bet these harmonies will give you chills.” —Ear to the Ground
