John
Primer has been hitting the festival circuit this year … and just recently
played two hard-hitting sets of Chicago Blues at the Pennsylvania Blues
Festival, where he was presented with a lifetime achievement award. His latest
release, a collaboration with harmonica player Bob Corritore, is getting lots
of attention on XMSirius Radio where it is this week’s #1 Pick To Click.
The ticket price includes:
- Four hours on the boat
- Three sets of REAL BLUES with John Primer of Chicago
- Great view of the Casino fireworks
John Primer Biography (Bill Dahl, www.allmusic.com)
By any yardstick, Chicago guitarist John Primer has
paid his dues. Prior to making “The Real Deal” for Mike Vernon's
Atlantic-distributed Code Blue label, Primer spent 13 years as the
ever-reliable rhythm guitarist with Magic Slim & the Teardrops. Before
that, he filled the same role behind Chicago immortals Muddy Waters and Willie
Dixon.
All that grounding has paid off handsomely for Primer. His sound is rooted in the classic Windy City blues sound of decades past: rough-edged and uncompromising and satisfying in the extreme. He's one of the last real traditionalists in town.
By the time he came to Chicago in 1963, Primer was thoroughly familiar with the lowdown sounds of Waters, Wolf, Jimmy Reed, B.B. and Albert King, and Elmore James. He fronted a West Side outfit for a while called the Maintainers, dishing out a mix of soul and blues before joining the house band at the Southside blues mecca Theresa's Lounge for what ended up being a nine-year run. Elegant guitarist Sammy Lawhorn proved quite influential on Primer's maturing guitar approach during this period.
Always on the lookout for aspiring talent, Willie Dixon spirited him away for a 1979 gig in Mexico City. After a year or so as one of Dixon's All-Stars, Primer was recruited to join the last band of Muddy Waters, playing with the Chicago blues king until his 1983 death. Right after that, Primer joined forces with Magic Slim; their styles interlocked so seamlessly that their partnership seemed like an eternal bond.
But Primer deserved his own share of the spotlight. In 1993, Michael Frank's Chicago-based Earwig logo issued Primer's debut domestic disc, “Stuff You Got to Watch”. It was a glorious return to the classic '50s Chicago sound, powered by Primer's uncommonly concise guitar work and gruff, no-nonsense vocals. With the 1995 emergence of “The Real Deal” -- produced by Vernon and featuring all-star backing by harpist Billy Branch, pianist David Maxwell, and bassist Johnny B. Gayden, Primer's star appeared ready to ascend. He soon transferred back to the Wolf label for sets such as 1997's “Cold Blooded Blues Man”, 1998's “Blues Behind Closed Doors”, and 2000's “It's a Blues Life”.

Ross Neilsen Band
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street
Friday, August 23 @ 9:30 pm
Blues-rawk road warrior Ross Neilsen and his band
bring “Resurrection” to Irene’s in
Ottawa. Neilsen’s latest studio CD was recorded in Maurice, Louisiana at
Dockside Studios, produced by New Orleans’ favourite son, Anders Osborne and
engineered by Grammy award-winning studio whiz, Warren Riker. This recording was
funded in part by the Music Industry Development grant in New Brunswick as well
as direct-to-fan funding site Pledge Music.
Neilsen’s journey to “Resurrection” was an epic one. Detouring to Macon, Georgia to
visit the Allman Brothers Museum, The
Big House, Neilsen gained inspiration for recording after being one of
the few people on earth to be allowed to play Duane Allman’s 1957 Gold Top Les
Paul. This is the legendary guitar used on the first two Allman Brothers albums
as well as Eric Clapton’s “Layla” album.
“Resurrection”
contains ten original songs, each one a unique sonic assault that draws
from Neilsen’s full palate of influences. From the dueling southern rock guitar
lines between Neilsen and Osborne on “Daddy Taught Me” (Neilsen’s tribute to
his late father), the poppy ear-worm hook in the rocker “Need You More”, ZZ
Top-esque guitar work in “Walk on By”, or the closing ten minute opus of
“Juanita” that conjures up the heavy drone of Crazy Horse, “Resurrection” explores bold new
ground taking the band into dangerously beautiful new territory. The song
topics are snap shots into the life the people Neilsen meets and the places he
visits as he tours the great nation he so proudly calls home.
After the demise of The Sufferin’ Bastards in
December 2011, Ross Neilsen has spent much of the last year rebuilding his
musical foundation with a new trio, Ross
Neilsen Band. Any doubt as to the impact of his return has been
shattered with this latest recording. The old school, in-your-face guitar
playing coupled with a thunderous, tight rhythm section has been Neilsen’s
trademark for years, blurring the lines between pop, blues and rock. With “Resurrection”, Neilsen has returned
with an arsenal of mature, timeless material and a fire burning hotter than
ever to take this new, exciting music to the place it matters most – The
People.

Irene Torres & the Sugar Devils
Irene’s Pub, 885 Bank Street
Saturday, August 31 @ 9:30 pm
Irene Torres & The Sugar Devils' musical diversity,
talent and raw energy, makes them truly unique. Drawing from all genres, they
mesh the past & present to create a new generation of deep rooted music
with a New Orleans flavour.
Shortly after winning the 2012 TBS award, they were
nominated for a Sigy Born award and selected for a Toronto Independent Music
Award. They have received rave reviews as well as critics picks for their self
titled album which has ranked #1 on some college radio stations, #4 on
reverbnation, top 5, top 30 and top 100 on Canadian and international music
charts.
Sultry Peruvian born Irene Torres is recognized as the
singer for Sol Azul, Santerias & The Sugar Devils. Her voice and lyrics can
be heard on worldwide radio stations, radio commercials, television,
soundtracks and fashion shows. She is a quadruple threat with a back ground in
dancing, acting, broadcasting and martial arts. Her talents stretch beyond
lyrics and singing, when it's time to perform she transforms you back or
forward in time.
The Sugar Devils are comprised of experienced musicians from
all genres, including sugar-coated Drew Austin, renowned drummer,
percussionist, and clinician who has worked with award winning artists
internationally. Drew's philosophy is that music is medicine, he uses drumming
as vibration therapy through The Sugar Devils musical diversity. Devilish
Guitarist, educator and musical director Josh ‘Yoshi’ Piche is a Brandon
University Music Alumni who plays any instrument with strings. Producer and
Multi instrumentalist Rob Christian is nothing short of brilliant on flute,
sax, keys, and vocals, but don't let that fool you, he brings the fire. Bassist
and arranger Jesse Boxer-Meyrowitz is a Humber College music alumni who is a
much heavier contender on stage than in the ring, his playing is sweet as hell.
