Debut album coming soon!<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/alexnahas">Alex Nahas</a> loves limits. That may seem odd coming from a multi-instrumentalist who plays the Chapman Stick and harbors a deep affinity for the cinematic. Nahas’s solo project Bright Brown is a case study in how to write more from less. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of several critically acclaimed releases, Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as David Byrne, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Bon Iver, and Daniel Lanois: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible pop music.There’s the unmistakable common thread of a seasoned singer/songwriter with a flair for mood, texture and atmosphere. Thoughtful and reflective with a knack for rendering outside-world concerns in the landscape of the personal, Bright Brown continues to venture into new frontiers, casting the Stick in a fresh light as a songwriter’s instrument with each successive song. Joy Askew came to New York City from the North of England in the 80’s and has enjoyed an embellished career playing keyboards and singing alongside music icons such as Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Joe Jackson, Rodney Crowell, Jack Bruce, and Quincy Jones. She has performed with her own band on stages from NYC’s CBGBs to festivals in UK, USA, Japan and Europe and opened for David Bowie and David Byrne among others. Now as a re-invented musical poet she has been a dedicated songwriter since the late nineties and her ninth album as an artist, Everything Is Different, was released in May 2022. Joy also sings in a Brooklyn choir that was featured on a Sufjan Stevens EP, collaborated with a British brass band and released a downtempo jazz electronica album along the way. Her band in NYC features Tony Mason on drums and Andy Hess on bass, along with guitarist Luca Benedetti.
