UK’s Bex Marshall is back in Australia after 9 years and is delighted to have Lazy Eye Band & Ollie English on the bill with her for a never been seen before night of kick ass blues, soul, rock & roots at The Gov.
Bex Marshall’s guitar playing combines slide, blues rock with electric ragtime and roots pickin’. Her voice a powerful melting pot of old black woman’s heartache and rock diva soul. European Blues Awards nominations - best solo acoustic artist 2015/16/17/18. Award recipient UK Blues Awards 2013 best female blues artist, best blues album.
Born Devon, based London, the product of blueblooded gentry and Irish Romany families. As a child her musician uncles played and stood her on the table to sing. At 11 she was given a 1963 Gibson Hummingbird.
“There’s not many female players doin’ what I’m doin’. A mixture of ragtime, slide and bluegrass with loads of lead licks kickin’ in, so I’m playing two time signatures simultaneously. I have bass lines going on while my percussive beat is slappin’ the strings. Mentors include Memphis Minnie, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Janis Joplin.
Bex was guest JANIS (‘Joplin’) with Big Brother and the Holding Company 2014, sang with Darby Slick as the voice of Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) 2018. Bex has played major fests worldwide – including Europe, USA, Brazil, Russia, Oz.
Booker T said - “at last, a woman who plays guitar like a goddess, sings like an angel, writes like Dylan and smiles like the devil”.

Fork on the Road is about showcasing Adelaide’s Food Trucks, Vans, Carts and Bikes all in one location, making the food itself the attraction and the event. This takes the form of events or festivals, generally speaking monthly in the city, and expanding to once a month in other suburban locations. It’s about demonstrating how the spaces can be used differently, in a way that’s people friendly. It’s about helping entrepreneurs to trial new business ideas. It’s about showing-off the new hip-happenings in Adelaide, the new businesses that are being created, and new a burgeoning food culture that strives to make Adelaide that little bit more unique, cool and exciting. It’s about giving the opportunity to young musicians and entertainers to gain some exposure and perform their craft in front of a live audience. Fork is also very much about community, both between the vendors and also with our audience, with a relationship that has been developed in part through social media. We love seeking the feedback and input from our Forkers, who are great at assisting our desire to make every Fork unique and improve.
