HOROJO
Trio
Bistro
Gainsbourg, 9 rue Aubry, Gatineau QC
Saturday,
January 18; 8 pm – 11 pm; $20
HOROJO
Trio is a soul rockin’ rhythm & blues act that features drummer Jamie Holmes,
singer/keyboardist Jeff Rogers, and guitarist/singer JW-Jones. They will be
representing the Ottawa Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in
Memphis from January 28 to February 1, 2020, only 10 days after their show at
Bistro Gainsbourg. Even before their first gig, they had already been called an
Ottawa “super group”, and while they admit the band name (derived from the
first two letters of each of the members’ last names) is unusual, the future
certainly looks bright for the exceptional HOROJO Trio.

Rideau Vista Elementary Schools
If
it’s January it must be Jack! Canada’s King Of The Blues guitar returns to BOTR
@ The Cove for a record 9th visit - most of them in the month of
January. What a great way to shake off the mid-winter blues. Jack is an
excellent singer/songwriter as well – in fact he won the International
Songwriting Competition in the Blues category last year beating out hundreds of
entries from around the world – an incredible achievement! Born in England Jack
was raised in Hamilton where he apprenticed under the late, great King Biscuit
Boy which no doubt helped him to develop his classic Blues-Rock style. His
guitar playing has been compared to that of Hendrix, Clapton and Page. He
formed his own group in the ‘90s and they’ve evolved into one of the hardest-working
and most-talented Blues bands in the country: Jack on vocals and playing that
incredible guitar of his, Nick Succi on keyboards, Alan Duffy on bass, Richard
Thornton on sax and Gary Donaldson on drums. There are elements of Rock, Funk,
Swing and Jazz in Jack’s Blues and it’s all good! A 2X Juno and 7X Maple Blues
Award winner he’s another all-time favourite at BOTR.

From
Vince:
I'll
be at Vibration Studios, performing my own songs with a band that I'm
quite excited about: Roddy Ellias on guitar, Chris Breitner on
acoustic bass, Alvaro de Minaya on percussion and vibes and Michel
Delage on drums. A reassurance for those who know that some of these
guys are amazingly good jazz players: don't
worry . . . this will not be jazz. Just my songs, but they'll sound different.
And there will be the odd one you haven't heard before. Vibration Studios is
a good listening room; they work hard at presenting great acts and treating
musicians well, and they deserve your support.

Music
By The Bay Live presents
Tony
D Band
Avalon
Lounge Port Whitby Marina; 301 Watson Street West Whitby
Friday,
January 31 @ 8 pm; tickets $45 (+surcharge & HST)
Tony
D (Diteodoro), guitarist for Juno award winning band MonkeyJunk, has been
laying it down for over thirty years. MonkeyJunk has amassed twenty Maple Blues
awards and a Blues Music Award, (formerly known as The Handy Awards).
At
the age of thirteen Tony began his musical journey on the guitar. Learning
mostly in the blues, rock jazz stylings. From Muddy Waters, to Jimi Hendrix to
Jimmy Page, to Albert King to Wes Montgomery and all the points in between.
At
19, lead guitarist Tony D performed for three nights in Buddy Guy’s band and in
1982, he opened for Stevie Ray Vaughan. He has also toured with some of this
country’s greatest musicians, including the late Dutch Mason. In the early
nineties having taken a trip to Europe and securing a record deal out of Holland,
Tony became one of the first Canadian blue musician to tour Europe.
The Blues and anything that falls under that umbrella being his first love, but Tony D has also explored various forms of music. Flamenco became another obsession and after studying the form for two years he joined a troupe which made him write pseudo flamenco and Spanish rhythm instrumentals which he still plays today in his solo shows.
Joining
Tony will be Mary Gellner on drums and Joe Hawkins on Bass
From
the delta to the desert it all comes from places of devotion, musical devotion.
“Basically, I’m like Lightnin’ Hopkins with an electric guitar” Tony D

Bill
Durst
Avalon
Lounge Port Whitby Marina; 301 Watson Street West, Whitby ON
Saturday,
February 22 @ 8 pm; $45 advance + surcharge + HST
Always an audience favourite, Bill Durst is a
Canadian Blues-Rock-Roots guitarist, singer, songwriter and entertainer who has
written and recorded over 125 songs on 12 albums with 7 national radio chart
hits. Bill has toured across North America and in Europe and tours extensively
in Canada.
As a kid growing up in Wingham and then London,
Ontario, Bill was heavily influenced by Motown, R&B, Toronto Psychedelic
Soul music as well as the British Blues Invasion and Jimi Hendrix. Bill’s entrance on the national/international stage was with his
classic rock band Thundermug formed from London R&B groups in 1969. By the
summer of 1972 the band had a number one hit and a fan following in Eastern
Canada. The band went on to record a total of 5 albums, (3 albums in the
early/mid 1970s and two CDs in the mid-1990s) releasing records in the US and
Europe.
Bill put out his first two solo releases in the
mid-1980s but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that Durst got some real career
momentum. In 2004 he proclaimed his intention to start up a “little, fuzzy,
psychedelic blues band” and since then Bill and his co-writer Joe DeAngelis
have produced 5 CDs
