Originally from East Tennessee, Sara Brimer Davey’s staggering vocal ability graced the world’s leading A Cappella and Grammy award winning group The Swingles. She has performed at some of the most prestigious venues around the globe. Sara has vocal credits on dozens of film soundtracks including the Hunger Games, Harry Potter and Wonder Woman as well as many live collaborations including Jacob Collier, Goldie, Jamie Cullum, and Rumer.
"Sara only has nice notes. She is effortless and lights up the stage. In anyone else this would be a nauseating amount of talent, but she gets away with it because she's so damn nice." – Gareth Malone
“Sara is a rare gem, a voice so gorgeous and free, she's in a category all her own. A coloratura that can swing, she moves sound to every corner of a room with her interchangeable, expressive voice. I'm a big fan." - Lauren Kinhan, New York Voices.
Working with the studio band that ultimately became Atlantic Junction, Adrian Nash released his second solo album ‘Straight Lines’ last year with a flourish of classy ballads and upbeat pop-rock songs that feature lush melodic lines, rich chord sequences and thoughtful lyrics. The songs on this album along with Neville’s Blues Headlines collection will be played in full by Atlantic Junction at Blues & More 11th August at Colchester Arts Centre.
“Adrian is a fantastic keyboard player and songwriter “– Marty Wilde
“Thank you for sending us the Straight Lines album. What a pleasure to listen to. This is one of the best examples of home-grown talent I have heard for as long as I can remember. The compositions are great works. Also, the tunes themselves are not predictable; lovely passing chords and great musicianship that fills the ears. Your and Sara’s voices fit together beautifully, and the blend, and harmonies are a delight. This album deserves national airplay”. - Joe Paton DJ, Ride Radio
