  • Description

    Discovered by Jeff Healey at the age of 11 playing guitar outside of his club in Toronto, he has opened for Dickey Betts, Garth Hudson, ZZ Top, Deep Purple and The Sam Roberts Band. He has toured internationally including shows in Germany, Ukraine, France, Mexico and at the World Expo in Japan in 2005. He has also received a Juno Award nomination for Best Blues Album. All this and he's only 19 years-old.

    Jimmy Bowskill Band Live is an explosion of Blues and Rock, with nods to many of Jimmy's heroes like B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix and friend Paul Rodgers (from the band Free). The album is spiced with two Paul Rodgers songs. Peter Green, a British blues guitar hero, is represented by Rattlesnake Shake from the early days of Fleetwood Mac.

    Bowskill is a musician of many influences and he brings out all of them for this album while bringing forth his own sound which can be caught in many of his own written and co-written songs including the fan favourite "Diamond Ring".
    The cover of the album, featuring art by the infamous Bob Masse (who did posters for the likes of Bob Dylan, The Doors, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin) matches Jimmy Bowskill's talent perfectly. This is the classic Blues and Rock music with the same raw quality that has excited audiences for decades.
