Black Sheep Inn,

Friday, March 17
Paul Reddick has been creating his own, compelling
version of the blues for over 25 years, bringing the art form to new frontiers
with his poetic lyrics, spirited vocals, masterful harmonica playing, and
hypnotic live performances. Rooted in a deep knowledge of blues music history
and nourished by a poet’s sensibility, his “wayward brilliance,” as the
influential British magazine Mojo puts it, makes Paul Reddick one of
the most popular figures, and the unofficial poet laureate, of the Canadian
blues and roots music scene. His debut release on Stony Plain Records, “Ride
The One” has been nominated for a JUNO Award this year.

playing bass drum, snare drum, hi-hats and with a drum stick fused to the head
of his trusty guitar, any other percussion within reach. An overnight sensation
20 years in the making, Steve Hill is an ambitious and raucous force to be
reckoned with on the Canadian and international blues-rock scene.
Currently on tour in Europe, Steve will be back in Canada

Lynne Hanson &
River City Junction
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Saturday, April 8 @
8:30 pm
We all carry a little bit of weight on our shoulders, but
being compelled toward songwriting is a welcome burden for Lynne Hanson. At
first listen, her warm, gritty, boot stompin’ music leads you through the
southern USA, though Hanson hails from Ottawa, Canada. Her sound is born
honestly through a lifetime of experience and influence, expressed through the
rock, blues and roots that bleeds from her very being.
In her latest “Uneven Ground” (April 2017), produced
by Winnipeg’s Scott Nolan, Hanson explores the realm of giving sound
advice through songwriting, and fighting back against the devil within us.
Permeating the recording is a restrained intensity, elevated with a finger-picked
beat, beautiful piano accompaniments, dobro and wind instruments. The title
track ‘Uneven Ground’ is a full-on blues assault, conjuring images a glamorous
chanteuse stretched out in front of a baby grand in a smoky nightclub. All
together, “Uneven Ground” is an authentic expression of Hanson’s rustic style,
brimming over with imagery and cleverly penned lyrics, and a crystal-clear
production. It steps proudly into the next generation of roots and blues music,
while still respecting traditions.
River City Junction is a Canadian Blues/Retro-Rock power
trio, long steeped in the traditions of Blues and Rock ‘n' Roll. A rich blend
of old school Chicago Blues, Motown, and Classic Rock, their music forms a very
potent sonic cocktail that is raw, organic and uplifting. Leaning heavily on
their roots, River City Junction's driving sound is deeply infused with
elements of yesteryear yet remains distinctively their own.

Boogie Patrol
Rainbow Bistro, 76
Murray Street
Saturday, April 15
A unique 4-piece band seamlessly blending Funk, Soul and R&B to entice even the most hesitant dancer out onto the floor, Boogie Patrol has steadily built their reputation as one of Western Canada’s premier Funk, Soul & Blues Rock bands. A featured act on some of the West’s finest roots music festivals, the band has garnered acclaim and an enthusiastic following on the strength of their high-energy live shows and their dedication to excellent musicianship and charming stage presence. While charismatic vocalist Dan Shinnan’s blazing harmonica punctuates Yuji Ihara’s savvy compositions, and anchored by the thick, head-bopping bass of Nigel Gale, Boogie Patrol creates a grooving, propulsive pocket that fills dance floors to capacity and beckons even the most sensible of patrons to join in the enthusiasm.
