We are very excited to be part of the new Sackville Sampler festival in May, and even more so since we might be able to bring in the 24th Street Wailers, the hottest roots act in Canada these days. The last record has made waves, opening up tours in all parts of Canada and deep into the US. Jimmy Vaughn was impressed enough to sit in with them in Thunder Bay and they plan to record their next album soon in Texas. Here is a taste of their music. Please tell us what you think in the comments section below.
The TBS schedule for the Winter is now available here. We hope to see lots of you out at the shows. You will find lots of music, video and links that will give you a foretaste of the music to come.
Berkeley Felming writes fondly about all the great music he has seen at George's Roadhouse over the years here.
We are almost there folks; Ray and his crack band are likely returning to the Maritimes after what has been too long. Ray's superb phrasing on his singing and his harmonica has led him to outfits like Roomful of Blues (3 albums) and Ronnie Earl; but he has kept up his commitment to his own Bluetones for 35 years. And you can see why, with musicians like Monster Mike Welch (who has 4 albums of his own) on guitar, Mudcat Ward (a standup bassist's bassist) and Anthony Gerachi on keys (who has backed B. B.King, Otis Rush and Big Mama Thorton among others).

Another week gone by as we get closer to the launch date of the new website. So many opportunities to blog, post to social media, etc. we want to talk about services like spotify and rdio that are tranforming the way we listen to music, start listening lists, and much more..but that is going to have to wait until the basic stuff is figured out...
We have dabbled a bit here and a bit there, but now we are jumping in full on. We now have a presence on Twitter with an Instagram feed in the works. Please see below and click to follow us.
