John Carroll Live
Album Release
The Blacksheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Sunday, December 27
@ 4:20 pm; $12 advance, $15 at the door
"Live at
the Acoustic Grill" is John's fourth full length release, and his
first live album. This album includes new versions of his older tunes,
brand new songs and a couple of great covers, all recorded live on The Acoustic
Grill's stage.
The album was produced in conjunction with Steve
Purtelle, proprietor of The Acoustic Grill in Picton, ON. Steve is known
across Canada by all great touring musicians worth their salt, and his venue
has become a staple on the Ontario live music circuit. In 2009, Steve and his
partner Jenny Leigh started their own record label, Acoustic Jams so they could
produce "live only" albums of their favorite musicians. John's new
album will be Acoustic Jam's eighth live release!
For his matinee release at The Blacksheep Inn, John
will be joined by Fred Guignon (lap steel) and Phil Charbonneau (bass), two top
shelf Ottawa musicians and long time members of John
Carroll's Epic Proportions.

Series that has been running at The Cove Country Inn in Westport, Ontario for
the past 10 years. The shows start in September and run once a month through to
May (December excluded) and feature some of the best Blues bands in Canada (and
a few American ones too). It has come to be recognized as one of the
premier Blues Series in Canada. Every show is a fundraiser for a different
local charity. To date the Series has raised over $55,000. The goal for this
season is another $5K.
The Cove Inn is located in the beautiful village of Westport on Upper Rideau Lake - about a 90 minute drive from Ottawa, 45 minutes from Kingston. All BOTR shows run from 7 to 11 pm and include a delicious full course buffet dinner. The staff at The Cove are very friendly and the venue is small, intimate and relaxed. After dinner you get to see and dance to the bands up close and personal – the way Blues is best enjoyed – all for a very reasonable price – $65 (plus tax). There are door prize giveaways at every show and 2 Grand Prizes drawn at the end of the season from all of the Comment Cards filled in by attendees over the year.

The 24th Street Wailers
Rainbow Bistro, 76 Murray Street
Friday, January 8 @ 9 pm
Experienced, road-tested and tougher
than a two by four, The 24th Street Wailers are five musicians who originally
met in music school. Their major influence? The sounds from the freewheeling
period in the ‘40s and ‘50s when the Blues gave birth to Rock and Roll in black
communities in major American cities. When showmanship mattered. When the sax
player, not the guitarist, got the girls.
Led by Lindsay Beaver. A wild and
crazy front woman and singing drummer. This band is filled out by Michael
Archer on Upright Bass, Marc Doucet on Guitar, Jesse Whiteley on Piano, and
Jonny Wong on wailing Sax. This band has been winning over the masses with
their unbeatable live performances and a sense of showmanship from a time gone
by, something many consider lost in modern day music.

The Harpoonist
& the Axe Murderer
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
Friday, January 29
@ 8:30 pm
In reality, Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall and Matthew
‘The Axe Murderer’ Rogers evoke much more than just grisly nautical imagery.
Armed with an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion, and a road-worn
Telecaster, the duo kick out raw and primal blues in
the tradition of a ‘decades-deep blues
style’ (Scott
Brown, What’s up Yukon), while infusing the genre with a jolt of renewed
energy.
Their influences range from the iconic songwriting of Willie Dixon to
the boundary pushing of Jack White and Danger Mouse but their sound is distinctly their
own, smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. Shawn Hall provides
the rousing, rugged vocals and blues harmonica, while Matthew Rogers rips on
the guitar and pounds the skins with his feet. Their music is unapologetic. It
slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It
cuts you to the core. It’s the blues played the way it was meant to be
played.
