Marcus Malone, Little Brother Eli

Detroit-born Malone has been making quite an impact on the European concert and festival circuit during the past few years and this earthy performer's sixth album 'Stand or Fall' is a gem of the highest order, boasting some compelling original material delivered by a finely honed band steeped in the spirit of blues.

The singer-guitarist's vocals are reminiscent of Paul Rodgers on tracks such as Living The Blues and Under Pressure but he's a major talent in his own right too. Think Bad Company crossed with Little Feat!
