We’re delighted to have this amazing artist back in Nottingham in 2022!

Chastity Brown is a storyteller in the blues tradition. The daughter of a black blues musician and white Irish mother who was raised in Tennessee, she tells stories populated by marginalized characters to stake her own space as a queer black woman and to speak to other experiences oftentimes ignored.

“What I’ve realized is that the personal is political,” Brown said in a recent interview. “Just by me being a biracial, half-black, half-white woman living in America right now is political. Just being a person of colour, a queer woman of colour, for that matter, is freaking political. My focus, as far as this record, I guess it’s really been psychological. I’m really intrigued by the perseverance of the human spirit and the complexities and contradictions that we embody as human beings."

She’s been praised by NPR, CMT, American Songwriter, the London Times, Paste Magazine, The Independent, and appeared on the U.K.’s Later…with Jools Holland, and has toured with artists such as the Indigo Girls, Ani Di Franco, Andrea Gibson, Jayhawks, The National, and Micheal Kiwanuka.

Chastity Brown will release her newest full-length record in 2022.
