Description
A generous helping of swamp rhythm & blues,soul boogie and bedroom funk mark the band's Stony Plain debut.
All three band members started out as players on the Ottawa blues scene. Played solo gigs, played with a dozen different bands between us, met up over beers years and years ago. Ottawa's got a really supportive blues scene. It started out informally between Tony and Steve. Then Matt got told he was in the band, whether he knew it or not. Between them, they've got almost 60 years of combined experience.
Six months after they started, they were nominated for a Maple Blues Award for best new artist. Then, in February 2009, they represented Ottawa at the International Blues Challenge. All those killer bands from Poland and Croatia and Australia and France and who knows where else - and, of course, from all over the States and Canada. And when the smoke cleared on Beale Street they had placed third overall. They were staggered.
The band put out an independent CD called Tiger in Your Tank in April 2009. People liked it; CBC Radio in Canada played it a lot; Dan Aykroyd's House of Blues Radio Hour named one of the tunes, "Small Time Evil" as "blues breaker of the week" six months later - well, he would, wouldn't he? He's Canadian too. And we got airplay reports from all over Europe, and even South America.
