Paul Reddick with
MonkeyJunk
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank
Street
Friday, January 11;
$20
Melding
poetry, mystery, darkness and light, along with an extensive knowledge of the
history and traditions of blues music is what makes Paul Reddick one of the most
popular figures on the blues and roots music scene today. For over 25 years
he’s been writing and performing his eclectic brand of blues, bringing the art form
to new frontiers with his rapacious, deep vocals, masterful harmonica playing
and song writing. As the unofficial poet laureate of Canadian blues, words are
his weapon of choice and when he sings, it is near impossible not to listen and
get lost within the songs, right alongside him and illustrating what the
influential British magazine Mojo described as his “wayward brilliance.”

John Primer has undisputedly helped build the sound
and style of Chicago blues as we know it today. The echoes of tradition bellowing
from the birthplaces he played such as: Maxwell Street, Theresa’s, Checkerboard
and Rosa’s Lounges, pulse from every chord in his fingers today. Having played
or recorded with a who’s who of blues greats including Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks, Johnny Winter, and Buddy Guy to
name a few, John Primer’s personal accolades, including Lifetime Achievement
Awards, reflect his countless contributions to the history of the blues.

Thomas, ‘In A Mellow Tone’ introduces listeners to the entire history of jazz,
from its beginnings to the latest innovations. Every program has a focus; on a
musician, a city, a festival, an instrument, a record label or on recent releases.

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.
**********
