feature: acid jazz pioneers the brand new heavies ft. n’dea davenport hitting the road with original line-up

Acid jazz pioneers the Brand New Heavies are back for the first time since their 2014 album “Sweet Freaks” and are hitting the road with their original line-up: N’Dea Davenport (vocals), Simon Bartholomew (guitar), and Andrew Levy (bass). Created in the mid-80s in Ealing, London, BNH were inspired by the heavy funk music of the 1970s and James Brown. Over the tears, the Heavies have collaborated with Q-Tip, Guru of Gang Starr, and The Pharcyde.
