Glasgow Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival – Artist In The Spotlight: Beaux Gris Gris And The Apocalypse
Beaux
Calling all Glasgow based and further afield Scottish blues fans… As The fourth Glasgow Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival draws closer, we at JLTT are doing an ‘Artist In The Spotlight’ feature for each artist continuing with Beaux Gris Gris And The Apocalypse:
The fourth Glasgow Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival will take place on Sunday 28th April 2024 at the Oran Mor. The event is a five band, afternoon-to-evening feature co-headlined by Elles Bailey and Cardinal Black. With just under two months until the festival, and over the coming weeks, we take the opportunity to look at each act in turn, continuing with Beaux Gris Gris and The Apocalypse.
With just three weeks until the festival, we’re looking at some of the acts who will be performing; last time around it was young blues troubadour Connor Selby, this time around its Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse.
California-based roots-rock band Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are fronted by the Louisiana born and bred, multi-ward winning singer & songwriter Greta Valenti, and feature the talents of British guitarist Robin Davey (the youngest ever inductee into the British Blues Hall of Fame, Davey spent time as an artist on Atlantic and Interscope Records; he has recorded with a wide spectrum of artists from Mick Jagger to Katy Perry).
The band’s heady and distinctive brand of roots-rock, which includes everything from Americana-country and soul to indie, rock and Louisiana blues, was heard to fine effect on 2019’s eclectic and inspired debut album Love & Murder, which spurned a number of Top 10 hits in genre charts across Europe.
The band followed up Love & Murder with Good Times End Times in 2022, which led to the band gaining momentum across the UK and Europe for both their genre-bending music and acclaimed, one-of-a-kind live shows.
On May 3rd, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse will expand their eclectic yet alluring sound further with a new, 14 track album entitled Hot Nostalgia Radio.
The album has been preceded by lead-off single, the hot and rockin’ Satisfy Your Queen and current release, raucous ‘n’ bluesy Louisiana to California banger, Oh Yeah!
Beaux Gris Gris is stoked to play Glasgow for the first time and with incredible headliners such as Cardinal Black and Elles Bailey. We can’t wait to party with all of you lovely Glaswegians! Let’s Get Wild, Scotland!” – Greta Valenti (aka Beaux Gris Gris)
