Liverpudlian blues and country singer Delta Maid will support Gary Barlow at GB40, his intimate 40th birthday charity show, on January 20th at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

The audience will be made up of invited guests, plus 1,200 Gary Barlow and Take That fans who entered a special lottery to buy tickets. Profits from the event are going to Gary’s favourite charities.

Delta releases her debut single, the country-fried hip shaker ‘Of My Own’ on April 18th (April 17th on iTunes). The album, ‘Outside Looking In’ takes its cue from Rory Block and Bessie Smith and is set for release in May 2011 through Geffen / Future Records.

‘Outside Looking In’ features the sultry, laidback swing of ‘Running On Empty’ and sunshine shot of ‘Spend A Little Time’ while ‘The Changes Made’ is an album highlight, a tender acoustic ballad worthy of Dolly Parton, laced intricately with Delta’s pure mountain vocal.

‘The Changes Made’ is available for free download via Delta’s Facebook page – www.facebook.com/deltamaid or here:
