Raw, dynamic performances and honest songwriting. That’s what it’s all about with Jalapeno Records newest signing, blues songstress - Izo FitzRoy.

A Londoner born-and-bred, Izo’s music is influenced by the raw power of female blues legends like Janis Joplin as well as the heartfelt lyricism of soul men such as Bill Withers fused with her own gospel roots from years spent singing in, leading and directing touring choirs.

Her songs are built for performance, sincere and compelling lyrics delivered over tight and melodic grooves. She effortlessly transitions them from the recorded versions to the live stage with her band’s unique 7 piece line-up, shunning typical soul instrumental combinations to instead feature 4 gospel backing vocalists. This vocal arsenal provides the perfect foil of uplifting harmonies to her powerful lead vocal and jazz tinged keys work, setting her apart from contemporaries and making for exciting live shows.

Uplifting harmonies delivered via her powerful lead vocal and jazz tinged keys work, set her apart from contemporaries and have won her plays on BBC 6 Music, BBC London, a ‘Heavy Rotation’ feature on NPR in the US as well as the prestigious Today’s Top Tune feature on LA tastemaker station KCRW.

Izo has also received strong online support from the likes of Clash Magazine, Indie Shuffle, Eton Messy and La Belle Musique as well as print press like Blues & Soul, Echoes, Uncut, Classic Rock magazine and Daily Express.

Her music and vocal talents have taken her far and wide - from touring the America’s Deep South dive bars and collaborating with the cream of New Orleans jazz and blues musicians including Grammy award winners Jon Cleary.

It was while she was living in New Orleans for the best part of a year that she wrote and recorded the bulk of her debut album – ‘Skyline’. Production duties came courtesy of industry heavyweight - Dr Rubberfunk who initially met her via Twitter to collaborate on the album track ‘Day By Day’. This creative partnership flourished and quickly grew from a one-off into a whole albums worth of material, producing a record that channels her gutsy gospel style and colourful bluesy keys through the vintage funk grooves of the good Doctor.

Support for Izo Fitzroy's full band come's courtesy of the Soul Casserole Crew known for putting on nights of Funk, Soul , Disco, Reggae to Mash Ups - Remixes to Reedits its hard to keep up with this Brighton based funky lot.

Joining them on this night is Special Guest Daddy Marcus Mark Hazlewood spinning a mix of Dancefloor classics from Funk & Soul, Disco & beyond!

On Percussive duty is Mr Tim Mercer - this gent needs no introduction as he adds another dimension for what is shaping up to be a very special night!
