BRAVE RIVAL – XMAS HOMECOMING SHOW

Winners at this years UK Blues Awards of “Band Of The Year”, Brave Rival are a rock band on a mission. No gimmicks, no frills—just raw, high-energy, riff-driven rock that demands to be heard. 
Since forming in 2019, the Portsmouth-based quartet—vocalist Lindsey Bonnick, guitarist Ed ‘the Shred’ Clarke, bassist Billy Dedman, and drummer Donna Peters—have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most electrifying live acts. Their debut album Life’s Machine (2022) put them on the map, catching the attention of critics, fans, and even Joe Bonamassa, who called them one of his “favourite discoveries”.
“The sheer attack and joy that is in their music is completely invigorating and the quality of their playing is stunning. They rock like beasts and the blues at the soul of their sound is strong and powerful!” (Music News).
Their 2024 follow-up, Fight or Flight, upped the stakes, earning a 9/10 review from Classic Rock Magazine, who hailed it as “an album packed with ambition, fire, and killer songs.” With massive hooks, blistering guitar work, and unstoppable energy, the album set the stage for their biggest year yet—festivals, headline tours, and sharing stages with rock legends like FM.
“Brave Rival is not like other bands – they’re better! Listen loudly!” (Rock and Blues Muse)
