Saturday, September 8
Hot on the heels of their latest album “Drive” and
their July tour of the UK, the Myers Brothers Band returns to Bass Line Station
on September 8 for an evening of juke joint blues and boogie not to be missed!!
Having fine-tuned their craft on their many road trips to the Mississippi delta, the band's music is inspired by the rhythmic grooves you'll hear in any urban or country juke joint on a hot Saturday night. You'd better bring your dancing shoes as you will want to let your hair down and party to the hypnotic sound of the Myers Brothers Band. The album, recorded in Ottawa late last year, features Mike Myers, Stevie Myers, Pepe Lopez Jr., and guest Mark Cole on harmonica.

songwriter with lyrics that emote, entice and captivate. And she can play -
piano, accordion, guitar, mandolin, percussion, Rhodes
and diamonica. Add in a theatre background and a career as a successful
children's music teacher/entertainer and you have the versatile, eclectic and
very talented package that is Treasa Levasseur." (James Doran, OBScene,

In fact, he's nominated in 2 categories for the 2012 Maple Blues Awards: Electric Act of the Year and Guitar Player of the Year.

His band, the Pariah Dogs, also features talented musicians Eric Heywood (guitar), Greg Leisz (guitar & pedal steel), Jay Bellerose (drums) and Jennifer Condos (bass).

concert 1: Flatlander Blues featuring Big Dave McLean, Suzie Vinnick and Shaun Verreault, recorded at the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg
The blues know no boundaries. No matter where you live and what you do, it's just part of the human condition. And when it comes to expressing those feelings through music, two artists from the prairies do it very well: Suzie Vinnick and Big Dave McLean. Big Dave, the veteran of the two, is a lifelong Winnipegger, while Suzie is originally from Saskatoon and now based in Toronto. Both have received many awards and accolades over the years and have fans around the world. Flatlander Blues was an event designed to allow these two artists to collaborate on each other's material, play some blues standards and have some fun with the musical give and take. They also added guitar slinger Shaun Verreault to the mix. He's originally from Saskatoon and is a long time member of the band Wide Mouth Mason, and also manages a successful solo career. The band also included a Winnipeg-based rhythm section, featuring Gilles Fournier on bass and Daniel Roa on drums.

concert 1: David Gogo, recorded at the 2011 Edmonton Blues Festival
Nanaimo's David Gogo is one of Canada's best blues-rock guitarists. A triple threat who also writes and sings, Gogo has been recognized through his multiple wins at the Maple Blues Awards, and numerous JUNO nominations. In fact, he's nominated in 2 categories for the 2012 Maple Blues Awards: Electric Act of the Year and Guitar Player of the Year. He's a tireless 'road warrior' who constantly travels Canada and Europe as a solo artist, or opening shows for, among others, blues-rock legend Johnny Winter. We recorded David Gogo and his crack band at the Edmonton Blues Festival this past summer.

concert 1: Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs, recorded at the 2011 Greenbelt Harvest Picnic near Dundas, Ontario
Ray LaMontagne left his job in a Maine shoe factory to pursue his calling as a musician. He's released four studio albums and two live EPs, won awards and topped critics' polls internationally since that time. Ray LaMontagne has now established himself as one of the most distinctive talents of his generation and his songs have been featured in numerous films and television shows. His band, the Pariah Dogs, also features talented musicians Eric Heywood (guitar), Greg Leisz (guitar & pedal steel), Jay Bellerose (drums) and Jennifer Condos (bass). Ray Lamontagne and the Pariah Dogs performed just as the sun was setting at Daniel Lanois' inaugural Harvest Picnic festival.
