"This confident blues and soul singer songwriter is putting a new twist on the melodic and soul fuelled music that she loves. with a highly competent backing band , Miss Al Brown has voice and an attitude that is rarely found in much of today's music" (SUBTV/3Mobile)
With sunglasses and a torrent of curly crazy hair, Miss Al Brown looks like a glamorous (but messy) new take on the blues with a passion for taking the music somewhere new.
"It's a new blues," she smiles, looking relaxed and charming in the heat. "It's a light, uplifting blues. I love the era of Ella Fitzgerald, as well as Stevie Wonder, but I don't want to sound like the old stuff. It just wouldn't work if I did that." Miss Brown still respects her blues roots as she started off playing her own interpretations of standards like "Take Me to the River" and "I Cant Stand The Rain" while she found her feet. The sound can be heard in her own songs.
Miss Al Brown made a strong impression as a finalist in the 2006 Student Music Awards with the video for "Looks Like You Love Someone". Audiences at the awards also got a taste of the vibrant live shows, along with the chilled out summer vibes of her acoustic performances. "This is a positive new take on the blues, We need positive music," says Al. "
Look out! For her summertime blues breathes new life into the traditional blues sound that we all....deep down ADORE!
