Coco Montoya
St. Francis Centre, 78 Church Street S., Ajax ON
Friday, September 12 @ 8 pm (doors 7 pm); tickets $45 (advance)
          ***only a few tickets left***

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, Coco Montoya earned his status through years of hard work and constant touring. It all started with a chance meeting in the mid-1970s with legendary bluesman Albert Collins, who offered Montoya a gig as his drummer. Five years later, British blues icon John Mayall happened to catch Montoya at a jam session and was blown away. Mayall recruited him as his guitarist in the legendary Bluesbreakers, and Montoya spent the next 10 years touring non-stop, proving him to be a world-class guitar master in one of the most renowned blues bands in existence. The rest is History!

Their show is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and this gal can REALLY sing!” Jack Lavin, Powder Blues
**********
Shawn Phillips
Les Brasseurs du Temps
Sunday, September 28; show $30; show + 3-course meal $55

“Shawn Phillips is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic musicians to come out of the early ‘70s singer-songwriter boom. The mere fact that he was a musician as much as a singer and songwriter made him stand out, and helped him attract a dedicated following. His refusal to shape his music – which crosses between folk-rock, jazz, progressive, pop and classical – to anyone else’s expectations has allowed him to hold onto a large and dedicated cult following, without ever achieving the stardom that his talent seems to merit.”

After 3 million albums sold and a 40-year career, Shawn Phillips is back on the BDT stage to present his new album and his greatest hits. A rare visit that will thrill his many fans.

Friday, October 10 @ 9:30 pm; $10

Bill Durst is a Canadian Blues- Rock- Roots guitarist, singer, songwriter, entertainer who has written and recorded over 115 songs on 11 albums with 7 national radio chart hits.  As a kid growing up in Wingham and then London, Ontario (which is halfway between Toronto and Detroit), Bill was heavily influenced by Motown R&B and Toronto Psychedelic Soul music as well as the British Blues Invasion and Jimi Hendrix. Bill’s entrance on the national/international stage was with his classic rock band Thundermug formed from London R&B groups in 1969. By the summer of 1972 the band had a number one hit and a fan following in Eastern Canada. The band went on to record a total of 5 albums, (3 albums in the early/mid 1970s and two CDs in the mid 1990s) releasing records in the US and Europe. Bill put out his first two solo releases in the mid eighties but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that Durst got some real career momentum.

In 2004 he proclaimed his intention to start up a “little, fuzzy, psychedelic blues band” and since then Bill and his co-writer Joe DeAngelis have produced 4 full length CDs.

Guy Davis
Greenbank Folk Music Society
Greenbank Centennial Hall, Greenbank ON (north of Whitby)
Saturday, October 11; tickets $25

Neat Coffee Shop, 1715 Calabogie Road, Burnstown ON
Sunday, October 12; tickets $35

Son of the late actors, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Guy is a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer … but, most importantly, a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis' creativity. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces.

His influences are varied: Musically, he enjoyed such great blues musicians as Mississippi John Hurt and Buddy Guy. It was through Taj Mahal that he found his way to the old time blues. He also loved such diverse musicians as Fats Waller and Harry Belafonte.

Early acting roles included a lead role in the film "Beat Street" opposite Rae Dawn Chong and on television as ‘Dr. Josh Hall’ on "One Life to Live". He made his Broadway musical debut in 1991 in the Zora Neale Hurston/Langston Hughes collaboration "Mulebone",which featured the music of Taj Mahal. In 1993 he performed Off-Broadway as legendary blues player Robert Johnson in "Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil". He received rave reviews and became the 1993 winner of the Blues Foundation's "Keeping the Blues Alive Award”. More recently, Guy featured on Broadway in Million Dollar Quartet and a revival of Finian's Rainbow.
