Proceeds to the David McCarthy Scholarship Fund
The final show in this Blues on the Rideau ‘set’ features Danny Marks and the Blues All Stars. Danny is the current holder of the Toronto Blues Society's Blues with a Feeling Award for lifetime achievement in music and broadcast. This iconic rocker's roots go back to the sixties as a founding member of Capitol Records' group, Edward Bear. After a span as a journey man session musician throughout the seventies, Danny settled in to the club scene, establishing a cult following as a genre bender in music and humor. A house band gig at Toronto's famed Albert's Hall led him to host his own nation-wide TV show, Stormy Monday. Through the eighties, Danny starred in CBC radio's hit series the Hum Line. Most recently, Danny Marks recorded two original music albums, “Guitarchaeology” and “True”, before paying tribute to Toronto's R&B roots with “Big Town Boy” in 2005. Danny is in his 5th year as the radio host of JAZZ.FM91's Saturday night blues show, bluz.fm.

Al Wood & the Woodsmen
Special guest Big Wheel & the Spokes
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street
Friday, June 18 @ 9:30 pm
Al Wood is a multi-talented performer and songwriter with a deep reverence for the blues and traditionally-based roots music. Born in Sault Ste. Marie ON, Al’s father first taught him how to pick out old country tunes on the harmonica. Now a virtuoso harmonica player, talented guitar stylist, and golden-throated singer, Al lives in Ottawa and Highway 17 is more than a song; it’s a road well-traveled.
Al Wood’s heart-on-the-sleeve vocals, harmonica-playing and guitar work create a powerful potion on stage and in the studio. Backed by the talented Woodsmen, the new and original “Mood Swingin’ Blues” is an emotional Ferris wheel ride where everything goes, everything grooves and even the “hurtin’ songs” make you feel good. Thirteen full-band songs, all penned by Al Wood, span the highest and the lowest ranges of human emotion, weaving together diverse forms of blues and related styles with a unique originality that defies cliché and elevates the soul the way only music can. Also lyrically rich and full of imagery, Wood’s songs take us down shiny neon-lit streets, into a hot crowded jazz club, or on an enchanted jaunt through a fairytale countryside.

Saturday, June 26 @ 10 pm
Other area shows: Sunday, June 27 @ Bent Anchor, Combermere ON
Monday, June 28 @ Northside Grill, Cobourg ON
Jim Suhler and Monkey Beat have been on the music scene since 1993, and have built a fan base worldwide. They are well known for their no-holds-barred approach to blues-inspired rock ‘n’ roll and roots music. They have shown an amazing depth of songwriting and playing, and their constant touring in both the USA and Europe has garnered many admirers.
Along with Suhler on guitar and lead vocals, the band includes bassist Carlton Powell, keyboardist Shawn Phares and drummer Jimmy Morgan. Together, they've been terrorizing clubs, theaters and festivals alike with their flamethrower brand of blues/rock with a major side order of the Texas border mythology added to keep it spicy.
The band released its latest CD, “Tijuana Bible” last year, which features 16 songs – twelve Suhler originals and notable covers of Elvin Bishop's ‘Drunken Hearted Boy’ and Rory Gallagher's ‘I Could've Had Religion’. Produced by Jim Suhler & Tom Hambridge, guest artists include vocalist Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie, Jeff Beck), Elvin Bishop and Joe Bonamassa.

Coco Montoya
Rainbow, 76 Murray Street
Wednesday, June 30 @ 9:45 pm
Over the course of his 30-year career, guitarist and vocalist Coco Montoya's explosive guitar playing and soul-driven voice have propelled him to the upper reaches of the blues-rock world. From his early days as a drummer to his current status as one of the top-drawing guitarists and vocalists on the blues-rock scene, Montoya has forged his reputation through years of hard work and constant touring. And it all started with a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Albert took an immediate liking to Montoya, becoming his mentor and teaching his new protégé secrets of the Collins "icy hot" style of blues guitar. Five years later, John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and was blown away. This led to Montoya's touring the world for ten years with the legendary Bluesbreakers. Since stepping out as a bandleader in 1993, Montoya has released four solo albums and has performed non-stop at clubs, concert halls and major festivals all over the world. At every show, fans' jaws dropped, and critics raved about Montoya's mind-bending guitar licks and impassioned vocals.
No stranger to Ottawa blues fans, Coco tours and plays over 200 shows a year. He’ll be at the Rainbow in support of his latest release, “I Want It All Back” on Ruf Records.
