With The Commotions
76 Murray Street
Friday, November 30 @ 9 pm; $12
Ottawa’s The
Commotions have sidestepped the lightweight pop craze and taken the back roads
straight into the hearts of their loyal followers, earning unwavering support
from the true lovers of genuine, unsullied soul music. This 12-piece, sharply
dressed, original throwback to the days of Motown is an evolved collection of
Canada's top funk & jazz players. This band originally united to provide a
Canadian contingent to Funk Brother's (Motown Records) lead vocalist Delbert
Nelson as "Delbert & The Commotions". The band's Musical
Director, Brian Asselin honed his skills performing with acts such as The Funk
Brothers, and his original music has been featured on HBO’s Looking and ABC’s The
Fosters in the U.S. The band features vocalists Jeff Rogers (Silver Creek and
The Cooper Brothers) and Rebecca Noelle (The PepTides, Rumours, La Voix and
David Gogo.) With a sonically monumental performance and an energizing visual
display, The Commotions command every room they play, drawing in audiences with
their sizzling brass section, thumping backbeat, and sensitive ballads.

By
almost any ordinary metric, like a marriage or a job, 10 years is a respectable
milestone. For a hard-touring and recording band, however, a decade is a
sweat-soaked, anecdote-amassing feat. Appropriately, the corresponding
anniversary gift is way better something made of tin.
Winner of 2018’s Blues Album of the Year Juno Award (their second overall), the latest and fifth release from singer/guitarist and harp player Steve Marriner, drummer Matt Sobb, and guitarist Tony D is precisely the kind of corker you’d expect from a trio of musical veterans who, between them, have boosted luminaries from Fabulous Thunderbird Kim Wilson to Buddy Guy, the late Jeff Healey to the lamented Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Launched in Ottawa in 2008, MonkeyJunk —handle inspired by delta blues great Son House, who once intoned, “I’m talking about the blues, I ain’t talking ’bout no monkeyjunk!” — have consistently updated contemporary blues with a blistering mix of chops, soul, grit, humour and harmony.
MonkeyJunk plays for keeps, as evidenced by the 10 electrifying tracks on their latest album, their first ever to feature bass guitar. “We wanted to push ourselves to work hard and to work efficiently and focused — to see what we could come up with in a shorter period of time,” drummer Sobb explains of “Time To Roll”. “The result is a brash, groovy-as-always collection of songs that show where the band has been and where we have arrived in many years of writing, recording, and touring.”
In addition to the above-mentioned pair of Juno Award wins (out of three nominations), MonkeyJunk has also netted an impressive 21 Maple Blues Awards, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, and a Blues Music Award (USA) for Best New Artist, for 2009’s sizzling “Tiger In Your Tank”. And while that recognition is swell, all band members agree that the real thrill of playing in MonkeyJunk is just that — playing, especially live, where the music’s ecstatic sway on crowds is right there to behold.

tickets
On his seventh
album, acclaimed Canadian songwriter Rob Lutes does what he has done for years:
kicks up a little dust, wades into some deep waters and tackles the realities
of the world with depth, humour and a unique musical style.
Situated at the intersection of the blues, folk, Americana and contemporary singer-songwriter genres, “Walk in the Dark” is an exquisite collection of songs that highlight Lutes’ unmistakable voice and literary writing style. Co-produced with celebrated Montreal producer and Cirque de Soleil collaborator Rob Heaney, the album features a group of Canada's finest roots and blues players, including guitarist Rob MacDonald and keyboardist Bob Stagg along with noted artists Ian Kelly, Guy Bélanger and Joe Grass. It finds Lutes, a Kerrville New Folk winner, Maple Blues and Canadian Folk Music Awards nominee, exploring a wide range of subjects and paying homage to some heroes: James Cotton (on ‘There's No Way to Tell You That Tonight’) and guitarist Joseph Spence (on the instrumental ‘Spence’). Recorded mainly over three days in late January in a small studio in Montreal's Notre Dame de Grace borough, the recording captures the essence of Lutes' soulful voice and rhythmic guitar style, enveloped by a group of players who are no stranger to his groove. Featuring 12 new originals, including two co-writes with award-winning Americana songwriter Dale Boyle, and the forgotten John Prine gem ‘Rocky Mountain Time’, the album digs deep into the roots of Canadian and American music and delivers another strong statement. "This album, of all of them, was a journey into the unknown, which is why I like the title so much," Lutes says. "With a great co-producer, and a group of phenomenal players and friends, I went in to the studio to find these songs. And I really feel like we did that."

Saturday
Night Blues
Host Holger Petersen has been a broadcaster,
record producer, album collector, and serious blues fan for over 40 years. His collection of blues records numbers in
the thousands. On Saturday Night Blues
each week you’ll hear a mix of classic blues from the ‘Petersen Vaults’,
concerts, interviews, artist features, new releases, plus anything that
boogies, jumps, or swings, plus your requests from the Bluesline.

On CJHR
98.7 Valley Heritage Radio
Thursdays,
8-10 pm
Got The
Blues
Pat Watters is your host for this blues only
radio show, now in its 9th 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.
**********
