Soulstack
With
special guest Sue Foley
Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray
Street
Friday, July 21
Soulstack delivers a visceral experience; one of seasoned
musicians playing the music of their roots with authentic realism. It’s the
sound of Staples Singers-inspired southern harmony, tremolo-drenched baritone
guitar, with a late-sixties New Orleans-style rhythm section and the gurgle of
a Hammond organ driving it along with the unmistakable and distinctive voice of
Jon Knight. Soulstack is: Jon Knight (Vocal/Guitar), Mark
Wessenger (Vocal/Piano/Organ), Chris Latta (Guitar / Baritone), Darryl
‘Harpo’ Peterson (Bass), Tom Bona (Drums), and newest member, Michael
Francis (saxophone).
Here are a few LIVE Soulstack videos from Moulin Blues in
Holland May 2015 :

fees
L.A.
based, guitar-player and singer ANA POPOVIC is back on the road promoting her
new triple album “TRILOGY” - Her most ambitious project yet. With “TRILOGY” Ana
releases three albums in one! Twenty-three funk, rock/blues and jazz tunes
produced by Grammy Award winner Warren Riker (Lauryn Hill, Carlos Santana),
Grammy Award winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy) and Delfeayo Marsalis, one of the
top trombonists, composers and producers in jazz today. Guest appearances
include Joe Bonamassa, Robert Randolph and many others.
The only
female guitarist part of the ‘all-star’ Experience Hendrix 2014 - ’17 line-up
about the release: "In an era where most are skeptic about the current
state and future of the music industry, I wanted “TRILOGY” to tell a different
story. The record biz might be broken and Spotify might rip us off, but that
can’t keep an artist down. Creativity is very much alive, and music is the
celebration of life."

Bobby Rush...2017
GRAMMY winning blues legend, 2006 Blues Hall of Fame Inductee, 10x Blues Music
Award winner, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year!
“…the man known
as ‘The King of the Chitlin Circuit’… a man who deserves being mentioned in the
same context as the blues greats Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson,
and B.B. King.” – American Blues Scene
Bobby Rush is the
greatest bluesman currently performing. “Porcupine Meat” (released
2016) is a testament to his brilliance, which presents him at his very best,
and doesn’t try to be anything that he is not. “I just try to record good music
and stories,” he humbly states. With this recording, he has more than
accomplished his goal, and has produced one of the finest contemporary blues
albums in recent times.
Bobby truly is one of
the last of the GREATS of his generation still performing and Music by the
Bay Live is excited and honoured to be presenting him this August in Ajax.

Spectrasonic and
Clyde River Productions present
Robert
Cray
Algonquin Commons
Theatre, 1385 Woodroffe Avenue
Friday, August 25;
doors @ 7 pm, show @ 8 pm; tickets $50-$59.50
Open ears and an open mind are the essence of singer,
guitarist and songwriter Robert Cray’s approach to writing, recording and
playing music. He has created a sound that rises from American roots and
arrives today both fresh and familiar. In just over 40 years Cray and his band
have recorded 20 studio releases, 15 of which have been on the Billboard
charts, and played bars, concert halls, festivals and arenas around the world.
There are five Grammys with Cray’s name on them, and he has a suitcase full of
W.C. Handy blues awards. Four years ago, Cray was inducted into the Blues Hall
of Fame.
On August 28, the Mascot Label Group will celebrate the vibrancy of the Cray Band’s rocking rootsy blues, soul-filled ballads and timeless R&B with the release of “4 Nights of 40 Years Live”. Through clips of concerts from the ‘80s and four recent shows, the evolution from the Cray Band unfolds. Comments by Cray and band members add depth. And interviews with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmie Vaughan and Buddy Guy put the band in perspective. The 3-piece set will be available in a variety of formats – 2 LPs + Mp3, 2 CDs + DVD, Blu-Ray + 2 CDs and digitally.
The multimedia “4 Nights of 40 Years Live” is a testament to the band’s longevity and vitality. The '80s concert footage is exuberant and shows the charisma of Young Bob (a reference in song that Cray makes to himself in homage to Muddy Waters calling himself Young Muddy) as a guitarist, vocalist and band leader. The live performances at recent concerts capture seasoned musicians bringing a vivid, illustrative past into the moment. Cray’s Stratocaster solos sing, cry and take on the funk. His voice has grown richer and wiser yet remains sweet.

*** A Message From
Elwood Blues ***
Greetings Citizens,
Elwood Blues, your musical chauffeur, here.
The BluesMobile began life as the House of Blues Radio Hour, way back in 1993. Over the years we moved from the house to the road, but the mission was always the same: showcase the best in blues, blues-rock, roots music, R&B, soul, jazz, straight up rock… and all points in between.
I put the spotlight on new releases from old favorites and newbies. I played the crusty, the fresh, the seasoned, and the raw, featuring wide-ranging interviews with the musicians themselves, and many live in-house concerts, recorded exclusively for the BluesMobile.
I now give thanks to the stations, the sponsors, affiliates, producers, managers, agents, and all those hard workers who put the “business” in show business, and bigger thanks to all the players and fans who keep the show going. This series, alas, has gone as far as it can go. Our final broadcast will be July 30, 2017.
There is a crossroads dead ahead. Twenty-four years is a long time without a turn. We may turn left, or right, but we will no longer go forward. Time for a new direction, a new road. For us, the end of this one.
And so we leave you to your journey. Please tip a cold one for us before you continue on your way. Watch our tail lights as we vanish in the distance, then get back to it.
Remember: The blues never dies. It will never run out of road. That road goes on forever.
And thanks for riding along.
Yours,
Elwood.

I put the spotlight on new releases from old favorites and newbies. I played the crusty, the fresh, the seasoned, and the raw, featuring wide-ranging interviews with the musicians themselves, and many live in-house concerts, recorded exclusively for the BluesMobile.
I now give thanks to the stations, the sponsors, affiliates, producers, managers, agents, and all those hard workers who put the “business” in show business, and bigger thanks to all the players and fans who keep the show going. This series, alas, has gone as far as it can go. Our final broadcast will be July 30, 2017.
There is a crossroads dead ahead. Twenty-four years is a long time without a turn. We may turn left, or right, but we will no longer go forward. Time for a new direction, a new road. For us, the end of this one.
And so we leave you to your journey. Please tip a cold one for us before you continue on your way. Watch our tail lights as we vanish in the distance, then get back to it.
Remember: The blues never dies. It will never run out of road. That road goes on forever.
And thanks for riding along.
Yours,
Elwood.

NPR from Canton NY
For those who live south of the city, OBS member Bob
Cavan notes that the National Public Radio (NPR) radio signal at 89.5 FM in
Canton NY comes in pretty strong in Manotick. Bob recommends two shows in
particular. Bob says “The Blue Note” Tuesdays 3 pm-5 pm, and “The Radio
Bob Show” Wednesdays 3 pm-5 pm are both excellent shows – blues, ‘50s
& ‘60s, rock & roll, R&B.

Unsung and On The
Side
With Carolyn Fe
Tuesdays, 7-9 pm
Re-broadcast Saturday 10 am – noon & Sunday 2-4 pm
(all times EST)
It’s all about the Blues, Jazz and its derivatives from
around the globe and just around the corner. Songs rarely heard, from the very
first recordings all the way to indie artists who consciously push the envelope
to the next generation sounds of the genre; some older releases will be spun -
just because the album in old, doesn't mean it's forgotten, thus the "On
The Side" part of the show's title.
**********
Streaming great Blues, Roots,
Soul, R&B, Folk, East Coast and Celtic music across Canada and around the
world 24/7/365.
