The Kendall Connection live at Komedia
Brighton’s live music scene is set for a major blues-rock showcase as The Kendall Connection take over the Studio venue at Komedia Brighton for a night of high-energy musicianship, soaring guitar work, and emotionally charged original songs.
Spearheaded by frontman guitarist and singer-songwriter Nick Kendall, the band features an all-star lineup of UK session players: Steve Holness (keyboards), Greg Hagger (bass), and Tom Clare (drums). Collectively, they are among the UK’s most in-demand musicians, having performed over the past decade with major names including 10cc, Tony Hadley, Paul Weller, Brian May, Gordon Giltrap and Alice Cooper.
With blues-rock at its core, the band’s sound draws from a rich palette of influences — from modern guitar stylists and jazz-rock innovators through to classic rock storytellers and groove-driven roots artists. The result is a dynamic, contemporary sound blending blues, rock, jazz, country and funk into a powerful live experience.
Nick Kendall will arrive in Brighton fresh off tour performing as guitarist with Sting in the acclaimed stage production The Last Ship, bringing that tour-honed energy and world-class precision straight to the Komedia stage.
Formed in late 2016, the four-piece has released two albums to strong critical praise. Their debut record was hailed by Blues Matters Magazine as “one of the best debut albums this reviewer has heard in a long time.” Their songs showcase crafted musicianship, faultless riffs, and emotive lyrical writing that connects with both dedicated music fans and wider audiences.
The band supported Jools Holland on tour, further cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Kendall is also known to audiences for his performances with rock legends 10cc, as well as with GO NOW!, celebrating the music of The Moody Blues — but this Brighton show puts his original blues-rock project front and centre.
Audiences can expect a night of blues-tinted rock, masterful guitar work, tight grooves, and songs that balance technical brilliance with emotional punch.
