Steve Hill
NAC Studio, 1 Elgin
Street
Saturday, March 18 @
8 pm
When it comes to one-man bands, guitarist and singer
extraordinaire Steve Hill has no limits. The truest definition of a one-man
band; Hill performs standing up while singing and playing guitar, his feet
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.
Following a winter tour in Europe, Steve is back in
Canada and will be at the NAC on March 18.

The 24th
edition of Viree Blues Moosehead presents
Ricky Paquette &
Martin Deschamps
Le Petit Chicago, 50
promenade du Portage, Gatineau QC
Wednesday, March 15 @
8 pm; $20
You missed us and let us know. But Viree Blues team also
missed its public, its partners and its performers. We were not going to let
this popular feature in Old Hull disappear this year and, at the same time,
forget our featured Great Stars of the Blues and 12 years of great memories. So,
with our new sponsor, Moosehead Breweries, with our loyal great partners of
previous years and with some new ones, today, we are ready to fully revive
Viree Blues ... Moosehead.
To mark this highly-anticipated revival, we needed an artist who could take up the mandate of launching the festivities, someone who represented Viree Blues well! A native of the Ottawa region, he has been a part of Viree Blues since the very beginning. His show could not be featured within the standard Viree Blues program though as he was not then the legal age to enter the bars! So, we arranged a ‘Sortie Viree Blues’ where he was the featured star, outside. But he also could be with us on our first feature at Bar Le Petit Chicago. Despite his tremendous success, he decided to leave the Blues scene to explore ... rockier ... horizons. When he recently mentioned his wish to try a comeback on the Blues scene and a possible new Blues album, he became our man to move ahead with our Viree Blues revival project. Ricky Paquette & Martin Deschamps open the 24th edition of Viree Blues.

Paul Reddick &
MonkeyJunk
Black Sheep Inn,
Wakefield QC
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.
MonkeyJunk plays a bluesy blend of swampy roots-rock.
Each an established musician in his own right, the MonkeyJunk trio has won a
collective 20 Maple Blues Awards, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, a
Blues Music Award (USA), a Juno, and a passionate following of fans designated
“MonkeyJunkies”.

“… February 11, was the third anniversary of
weekly jazz jams at the Brookstreet Hotel's Options Jazz Lounge in Kanata – and

There
are not many jams that last without a break for that long, and with the same

A powerhouse performer, Matt Andersen’s “fingers sail over his acoustic guitar strings with the speed and grace of a hummingbird,” he has a giant yet soul-filled and passionate voice, and a commanding stage presence. In a word, Andersen is awesome! With over 10 million views on YouTube, independent album sales topping 30,000, a European Blues Award, Maple Blues Awards and Best Solo Performer at the Memphis Blues Challenge, Andersen’s worldwide fan base shows no signs of slowing down.
“The blues is a big part of what I do, and in my solo show some tunes are straight-up blues, for sure,” he says. “But I would never stand beside B.B. King and say, ‘I play blues, too.’ None of my albums are blues albums – I’ve won blues awards with them, but I wouldn’t say they’re blues albums.”

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.

Thursdays, 8-10 pm
Got The Blues
Pat Watters is your host for this blues only radio show,
now in its 8th year. It can
be heard throughout the Ottawa Valley and streaming on the internet at valleyheritageradio.ca.

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.
Check out their Canadian Blues
shows and hosts, including James Doran’s ‘Inside The Blues’, Brant Zwicker’s
‘At The Crossroads’, along with Mark Stenzler's ‘Blues Zeppelin’ from
Switzerland … and lots more Canadian and international Blues shows.
