Bex Marshall

Blues Roots and Ragtime Soul

Doors: 6pm • $15/adv • $20/door

Bex Marshall has emerged as one of Britain's fiercest blues voices, both vocally and on guitar. She began her musical journey at just 11, when she received a 1963 Gibson Hummingbird from her uncle. That pivotal gift launched her into an odyssey of classical, flamenco, ragtime, country-pickinʼ, rock and homegrown blues, ultimately forging her signature hybrid style of slide, ragtime, blues-rock and soulful roots playing. Marshallʼs voice channels heartache with raw, piercing emotion, a "melting pot of old black womanʼs heartache and rock diva soul.ˮ Her guitar is not just accompaniment; it tells its own stories. For British Blues Award winner and guitar virtuoso Bex Marshall, music has always been a passport. In 2013 Bex was asked by "Big Brother and the Holding Companyʼs Sam Andrewsˮ to be the 'Voice of Janis' on his last tour of the UK. And then there's her songs.

For its evening program this month (Friday, March 20, 2026, at 7:00 pm), the Gila Native Plant Society has invited Ivy Stephens-Etheridge, a Youth Civic Infrastructure Intern with the New Earth Project, to give a presentation on her experience. The Upper Gila Watershed Alliance's New Earth Project uses Johnson-Su bioreactors to turn waste into compost containing living micro-organisms. Ivy will describe local agricultural use of the New Earth Project's living earth and regenerative practice. She will also share what she has learned about liquid carbon vs. degradation pathways, the rhizophagy cycle, the principles of regenerative agriculture, and how and why microbes increase plant nutrition.

Ivy Stephens-Etheridge is a high school senior at Aldo Leopold Charter School, and a Youth Civic Infrastructure Intern with the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance (UGWA), an internship funded by Future Focused Education. She has been working with Mike and Carol Ann Fugagli on a project promoting local agricultural use of the New Earth Project's living earth and regenerative practices. Last semester, Ivy took a microbiology class at Western, which piqued her interest in soil microbes. In her free time, she enjoys walking her dog and doing ballet.
