Grace and Danger

Eastbourne and Brighton based Blues Rock band Grace and Danger are quickly becoming known as the must see new-blood act on the UK music scene. The band consists of the two brothers, the explosive Rory Purdey (Guitar/Vocals) and the highly esteemed Aiden Purdey (Drums/Percussion). As well as playing music festivals and legendary venues such as The Forum (Tunbridge Wells), The Carlisle (Hastings), and most recently The Cavern Pub (Liverpool) the band has a particularly devoted following on the South Coast. The guys are often compared to the likes of Prince and The Revolution, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Joe Bonamassa and Rival Sons. Although they have their influences, don’t let the comparisons fool you, these guys have a sound all of their own and it’s clear from their writing; there is something for everyone.
