TheDavidBowersAwards

TheDavidBowersAwards presents Gab De La Vega and UK's James Brown.

Gab De La Vega is an Italian indie artist who migrated from punk and hardcore to more mainstream music while exploring his singer/songwriter side.  He combines stories of real life emotions and subjects with his vocal and instrumental sounds to create a unique musical experience.

The UK's James Brown is an indie artist who combines his singer/songwriter talents with a well-thought-out game plan of both music and life.  To overcome industry confusion with his American namesake/legend, this James Brown presents his music via 'projects,' to simplify identification, such as his 'Stars and Telescopes' album, which he previews here.

Hot blues-rock with a melodic groove are the trademarks of this group of talented musicians now hailing from London.  Born Healer fetures award-winning musicians who have found their synergy and retained it even through the pandemic.  Helen Turners scorching vocals are enhanced by tight instrumentation to bring out the raw emotion.
