Kyla Brox
Making her debut Shetland appearance is English award-winning soul singer Kyla Brox who, together with her band, will no doubt blow away local audiences with a mixture of inextricably entwined RnB, pop and Soul influences.
Brox’s raw singer-songwriting talent has seen her described as “the finest female blues singer of her generation” and led to her winning the ‘UK Blues Challenge 2018’ and ‘European Blues Challenge 2019’. She was voted Best Female Vocalist in the 2019 European Blues Awards and semi-finalist in the International Blues Challenge 2019 and 2020. There is no doubt that Kyla Brox is at the very top of the UK Blues scene.
Daughter of cult blues figure, Victor Brox, the Mancunian vocalist began her career as a teenager in her father’s band and has now honed her own sophisticated sound, as heard on her last two critically acclaimed and award-nominated albums. Her voice; tender, urgent, gritty, blurring the distinction between pleasure and pain, mixed with the enchantingly fluent guitar work of Paul Farr, inspired bass playing of Danny Blomeley and in-the-pocket drumming of Mark Warburton, combine to make a unique and powerful, often joyous, always emotional experience.
