Brave Rival

Portsmouth’s Hottest Band - Homecoming Show - Brave Rival...

“A flawless convergence of rock, blues and soul….”

Brave Rival are the South-East’s brand new rip-roaring rock and blues machine, hailing from Portsmouth and drawing influence from the likes of John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Tedeschi Trucks. Brave Rival offer a style and sound that you’ve always known, and yet never heard before.

The UK Blues Award Nominated band features the powerful and beautiful twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick. On lead guitar, providing dramatic guitar solos and crunching rock riffs is Ed “The Shred” Clarke. And holding it all together is the rhythmic backbone, the self-proclaimed engine room of Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums).

“What Heart might sound like if they joined the Tedeschi Trucks Band!” (Classic Rock
Magazine)

“Brave Rival are a band on a meteoric rise, firing on all cylinders and are about to take the world by storm. Their unique combination of beautifully harmonic, soulful vocals, epic
guitar solos, pounding drums and powerful bass serves up an infectious sound that is not to be missed.”
