Chantel McGregor, one of the most exciting rock and blues musicians in the UK is to perform at The Atkinson on Friday 27 June at 8pm.
Imagine the tone of Robin Trower, the inspiration of Hendrix, the influence of Stevie Ray Vaughan, the energy of Bonamassa, the intensity of Walter Trout and the haunting vocal of Stevie Nicks all rolled into one then let us introduce Chantel McGregor.
At the age of eight Chantel became the youngest person in the country to pass a Rock school exam and at 12, she was jamming in her native Bradford and evolving into an incredible musician.
Since stepping out in the pro-musician world, her stunning live performances are proving that this is rock blues for the new age, played by a musician born with an effortless virtuosity, peppered by flights of incendiary guitar and flanked by moments of poise, grace and fluidity…………
When asked about performing on stage, Chantel said:
“playing live to great audiences is one of the most wonderful feelings, I feel so lucky to be able to do something that I love, see the world and bring happiness to others through my music”
If you measure an artist’s prospects by the company they keep, then this Miss is clearly heading in the right direction, having been invited to perform on stage by Joe Bonamassa, the American blues supremo, on two of his tours so far!
Chantel’s debut album, Like No Other, was produced by Livingstone Brown, who has worked with such artists as Tina Turner, Bryan Ferry, Robin Trower, ABC and Bill Withers and the end result, is a beautifully crafted compilation, that showcases her versatility and genuine talent, as a singer-songwriter!
Also being part of the centenary album 100 Years of the Blues, in the company of the all time greats and Blues Fury, the new rock revolution, is testament to her highly regarded reputation in the music world!
In 2013 Chantel was voted Guitarist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.
