Bex Marshall

A writer of distinction and significance, Bex pushes the boundaries of the blues. Her songs have been called timeless and brilliant. Now she tours internationally solo or with a three-piece band that complements her unique, virtuosic playing style.


Born in Plymouth, Devon, she was the product of two very different families: blue-blooded landed gentry on one side (her great-grandfather was the laird of Cornwall) and Irish Romani on her mother's side (her great-grandmother was the original fairground fortune teller, Madame Olga). As a child, her uncles would always put her on the table to sing at family gatherings.


At the age of 11, her uncle David gave her a 1963 Gibson Hummingbird, and as soon as she started playing, she was captivated by instrumentals and classical guitar standards that stretched her fingers and gave her a great foundation for developing her own music. Flamenco, ragtime, country chicken pickin', rock, and eventually blues and roots, where she now thrives.


She's always had a passion for traveling; it's in her blood. As a trained croupier, Bex began traveling the world at 18, working at gaming tables on cruise ships as far afield as Park Lane and even running illegal poker games in Amsterdam. She hitchhiked along the coast of Australia on cattle trains, always with a guitar strapped to her back, living and collecting stories. Bex was asked to be the guest Janice for 'Big Brother and the Holding Company's' original guitarist Sam Andrews on their 2014 European tour.
