Speaking about the tour, Bex enthused “AT LAST! THE FIRST HEADLINE BEX MARSHALL UK TOUR…WERE READY TO BLOW THE ROOF OFF!”
“Bex Marshall commands recognition with her spit and sawdust vocals and fluid resonator guitar licks.” – Classic Rock Magazine
“Bex Marshal has been keeping her powder dry for too long, but this one is packed full and it fires straight and true” – Blues In Britain Magazine
“Marshall’s guitar mastery combined with her wonderful raspy vocals and brilliant song-writing make for a captivating listen. The record is an absolute delight…” – PHILLY CHEESE PHIL
“Bex Marshall is a heart-wrenching singer, a dazzling guitarist, and a charismatic stage presence.” – Charles Shaar Murray
‘Fortuna’ is a collection of ten tracks, filled with catchy songs and showcases Bex’s talents as a powerful storyteller.
Bex enlisted her local London talented friends including Richie Stevens on drums (Tina Turner, Simply Red, George Clinton), Toby Baker on keyboards (BB King, Eric Clapton, Alexander O’Neil, Sinead O Connor), B.J Cole on Dobro (Elton John, Coldplay, Sting, Shania Twain, Robbie Williams), New York’s Robert Eugene Daniels on bass (RIP “Red Bass”) Aurora Mannola on bass, London’s gospel Queen Shola Adegoroye, and legendary Danny Bryan on percussion (Taj Mahal).
After a week-long recording session at Snakepit Studios in North London, Fortuna was created. It’s an album of soulful rock blues, with funky undertones with touches of gospel and roots. The album was engineered, co-produced and mastered by Nick Hunt (Dave Stewart, Boy George, Placebo, George Clinton) who Bex has worked with on her previous album ‘House of Mercy’.
