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.

Robert Cray
Opening – Lucas Haneman Express
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.

Terry Gillespie
Centrepointe
Theatre (Studio), 100 Centrepointe Drive
Friday, September 8 @
7:30 pm; tickets $39.50
Terry and His Super Tight Band will be performing
at Centrepointe Theatre. The band is really looking forward to playing
such an acoustic fit room. It is a treat for them! Opening the show will
be Vince Halfhide playing an intimate set of originals and interpretations
- how nice is that! The plan is to take you back to the roots of Ottawa Blues
first played by Heaven's Radio in 1969 in Ottawa, some say the first band in
Canada to do that! This band is not about guitar heroes but straight up Blues
played old school. Alright!
Saying all that, Terry has spent the last year developing
new material, including a new CD 'Home Boy', a new look for his
website terrygillespie.ca and
one of the most difficult and time-consuming projects was participating in the
documentary: Mr. Groove. It is 7 minutes long and was a joint project between
Richard Flohil and film maker, Booker Sim, Terry’s son with interviews by Sue
Foley, Holger Petersen and Richard Flohil himself.
Other reasons we are celebrating are:
• Terry's 55th
year playing professionally
• 49 years back
in Canada
• 70th
year as a human
I figure that as long as he can and wants to drive he can
travel and play, but we now look at each tour for fun and ease. Why not!
Everyone sez he sounds and plays ' better than ever'. Alright!
The show at The Centrepointe also kicks off Terry's 2017
solo Western Tour.

Lloyd Spiegel
Manotick House
Concert
Saturday, September 9;
$20 (OBS members $15)
With 9 albums, a swag of accolades to his name and 26
years writing, performing and recording, Lloyd Spiegel is an artist at the
forefront and cutting edge of Australian Blues. It’s that unique experience
combined with a relentless touring schedule and stage presence well beyond his
years that has seen him become a driving force in Australian blues and one of
most respected guitarists in the country, recently being named in Australian
Guitar Magazine’s list of the 50 top Australian guitarists of all time.
Growing up in the music business, naturally Lloyd is
passionate about promoting the blues scene and mentoring the next generation.
He has taken countless young artists under his wing who have since become
multi-award-winning performers in their own right and he has been an advocate
for blues in Australia, chosen as the ambassador to the Australian Blues Music
festival from 2005-2008 as well as ambassador to ‘youth in blues’.
Spiegel’s unique history, command of his instrument and
powerful stage persona puts him at the cutting edge of Australian Blues,
re-inventing the style for the masses and opening new doors for Australian
blues artists while maintaining a close relationship with the foundations and
traditions of the blues. His new release "This Time Tomorrow"
contains 10 new tracks inspired by Spiegel's recent tours through the USA, Europe
and Central America."

Tuesdays, 7-9 pm

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.

With Elwood BLues
From Elwood Blues:
Good news Blues Brethren and Soul Sisters! We've decided
to make selected episodes from our vast archives of The BluesMobile Radio Hour
available for your listening pleasure! And in order to appease the music
licensing powers that be, we are moving to Mixcloud to host our
archival releases.
(You may have to copy & paste this link if it
defaults to mixcloud.com when you click it!)
Our first archival release is a celebration of Eric
Clapton. This episode first aired in March 2015 on his 70th birthday. But do we
really need an excuse? There is a lifetime of music to sample, from Cream to
Blind Faith to Derek and the Dominoes, and more. Plus exclusive and rare
Clapton sound bites from our interview archives!
