MUSICAL chemistry is set to cause a fizz at St George's Hall in Bewdley, and it should March to bluesy, rocking close.

Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough will be performing in support of their new album, "Mockingbird Soul", and the talented Nashville-based duo are looking forward to entertaining a local audience.

A spokesman said: "When they first joined their soulful voices in song six years ago, they knew they were destined to make beautiful music together.

"Since then, they’ve showcased their instinctive vocal interplay and formidable song-crafting skills throughout North America and Europe, collaborated on two albums, and they've become the best of friends."

But Brigitte and Will had never released a recording as an official duo - a situation they finally remedied with Mockingbird Soul.

Will said: “We figured we might as well put both our names on it and just make it a thing, because the chemistry’s there, the writing’s there, the harmonies are there, and so is our mutual love of all the music these songs are derived from and inspired by.”

That would be what he calls “the good stuff”: blues, gospel, early jazz and the country music those genres influenced, along with bluegrass, early rock ’n’ roll, folk.

"American roots music, in other words, " he said.

The date for the diary is March 31.
