with her own name, This is her more powerful project, a power
trio that mixes blues and rock & american roots music.

contemporary blues scene. Blues-rock of XXI Century.

Vanja
Sky is Croatia's answer to Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones. An
artistic career can hardly develop more rapidly. Five years
after learning to play the guitar, Vanja recorded her debut
album with well known artists from the international blues
scene. With „Woman Named Trouble“ the follow up work is now
released. The blues was originally the initial spark for the
young confectioner from Umag at the beautiful Croatian coast.
After attending a concert by guitar hero Denis Makin and his
band „The Screaming Wheels“, Vanja, who was barely of legal age,
was obsessed with the idea of having found her true calling in
the blues and rock roots. She first moved to Zagreb to step
deeply into the local music scene. There she meet Laurence Jones
when he played a concert in Zagreb. Shortly after that Vanja
started an acoustic duo with guitarist Eduard "Jimmy" Matesic,
one of the most prominent artists in Croatia. Together they
played concerts all over the country.
Vanja became the
discovery and most successfull newcomer of the scene and is now
no longer an insider tip. The highlights of her blitz career
include working closely with greats like Bernard Allison and
Mike Zito, both appear on her debut album „Bad Penny", recorded
at the Bessie Blues Studios in Stantonville, Tennessee, under
the hands of Grammy-award-winning producer Jim Gaines. The
followed album „Woman Named Trouble“ is much more rocking and
was instantly chosen from ROCKS MAGAZIN among AC/DC, Deep
Purple, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen as one of the best
records released in 2020! This year, Vanja Sky released a duet
with singer Carl Sentance, who is currently on the microphone
for probably the most successful Scottish hard rock band,
Nazareth, and for the solo band of Deep Purple keyboardist Don
Airey. Vanja Sky is influenced by Rory Gallagher, Albert King
and Stevie Ray Vaughan. From that she built a bridge from the
old giants of the traditional blues to a youthful audience. She
convinces with her own compositions, which are reaching the
leavel with the hits of the current genre greats. Vanja Sky is
the real deal. With a vintage eighties sound reminiscent of Joan
Jett, Vanja sings the songs with the same sharpness and
dedication as Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders would do.
Vanja has the musical presence to make it big on every stage.
From her world tour in the „Ruf Blues Caravan“ with Bernard
Allison and Mike Zito, the result of this tour is impressively
published on a live CD/DVD, to her own headline tours, sessions
with Humble Pie guitarist Clem Clempson, Colosseum singer Chris
Farlowe and supports of rock legends UFO and Woodstock icons
Canned Heat, she developed her live performance. She is a
frequently booked act in front of thousands of visitors at major
international festivals such as the Rother Blues Days,
Vallemaggia Magic Blues Festival, Fehmarn Festival, Moulin Blues
Festival and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival. Vanja Sky is
also one of the most booked bands at international biker
festivals such as Hell's Week or the Canta'l Rock Festival in
France. An absolute top act that you shouldn't miss!
Brave
Rival are the South East’s brand-new rip-roaring rock and blues
Machine. Hailing from Portsmouth, 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).
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.
Since their inception in the summer of 2019, Brave Rival have
gone from strength to strength, featuring in Raw Ramp
Magazine as one of the 'Top 20 Bands To Watch In 2020' and
nominated for 'Breakthrough Act 2019' by Get Ready To Rock
Radio.
At the turn of the decade, hot off the heels from supporting
blues rock giants such as Stevie Nimmo and The Billy Walton
Band, Brave Rival captured their raw energy live by recording
their headline set to a gracious sold-out audience at Hook’s
famous Echo Hotel Music Club. This fabulous set of early
material was quickly released to critical acclaim as their first
Live Album ‘Brave Rival Live at the Echo Hotel Music
Club’. Keeping the momentum going, a Kickstarter was launched
for their first studio album with the target easily reached by
their loyal fanbase with time to spare. It was then time to
repay that loyalty with a studio album. Little did they know
however, that the world was about to change forever.
With the pandemic putting the brakes on recording plans, Brave
Rival spent much of the UK Lockdowns writing new material via
the power of Zoom calls and Google drive. The abundance of
material produced served them well for the eventual recording of
their debut album in the summer of 2021. Recorded at The Mayfair
Studio in the picturesque Surrey countryside with
producer/seducer Tarrant Shepherd at their side, Brave Rival’s
highly anticipated debut album “Life’s Machine” arrived on May
6th 2022 to critical acclaim. Emerging Rocks Bands Magazine said
it best when they described the album as “Boss blues energy from
start to finish”. Similarly, Powerplay Magazine finished their
ten out of ten review by saying that “Brave Rival have unleashed
one lean, mean and well oiled machine!”
Tipped as one of Joe Bonamassa’s “favourite discoveries this
year” the future is looking incredibly bright for this young up
and coming band. A successful set on the introducing stage at
the 2022 Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival in Skegness saw
them win the competition, securing a deserved place on the main
stage in 2023. The relentless gigging and hard work in 2021 has
also paid off for the band with a UK Blues Award
Nomination for Best Emerging Blues Band.
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.
An
International touring band with a 10 year portfolio of festival,
theatre and club gigs throughout Europe, Scandinavia and the UK.
Gerry Jablonski & the Electric Band are a standout act with
an energetic, no-holds-barred stageshow. They have a unique,
trademark Heavy Blues Rock sound and style producing gutsy music
with hooks, melodies and an intense presence that wins over any
audience, anywhere, anytime. Guaranteed.
