SUMMARY:Mark Reeves
DESCRIPTION:Beloved Winnipeg blues and R&B powerhouse singer/guitarist well-known for fronting an amazing band and an incredibly vibrant live show.\n\n\nMark is one of those well-respected artists who’s been around\, building steam\, making records and touring in support of some of the world’s best-known roots artists.The past two decades have seen Mark stream through a journey from busker to seasoned performer with masterful chops and the kind of mesmerizing stage presence that most artists never achieve in a lifetime. Turning heads because of youthful talent\, he won a scholarship to Boston’s Berklee College of Music at 19\, paid his dues in the blues clubs\, made a record with Los Lobos producer Keith Keller’s at Keller’s mansion in New Orleans\, won a sackful of awards\, and warmed up stages for everyone from Robert Cray and Blue Rodeo to Colin James and Jesse Winchester.It’s been said that if Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett had a love child\, Mark Reeves would be it. Fans of Lovett and Martin Sexton will eat up Reeves’ hard-earned positive vibe\, rock solid rhythmic groove and kick-ass Motown horn section which adds a pleasant double-espresso kick to the mix.Anybody who loves R&B will immediately be inspired by Mark’s infectious\, dance-all-night grove thang\, but there are profoundly beautiful moments here\, and unpretentious lyrical wisdom that makes you sit back while you catch your breath.

SUMMARY:Sue Foley
DESCRIPTION:With her wild ‘60s garage-rock swagger and stinging Texas big-tone blues\, Sue Foley is the rightly regarded queen of the Fender Telecaster.\n\n\nPinky’s Blues\, the new Stony Plain Records album from award-winning blues guitarist/singer Sue Foley\, scored a trifecta of nominations at the recently announced nominees from the Blues Foundation for the 43rd Blues Music Awards. Foley garnered nominations for “Album of the Year\,” “Traditional Blues Album\,” and “Traditional Blues Female Artist.” \n“I’m over the moon about these three Blues Music Award nominations\,” said Texas-based Sue Foley after she heard the news. “What an incredible honor to be acknowledged in Memphis. Speaking for everyone who helped create Pinky’s Blues\, we’re proud to have made a real blues album and are thrilled that folks are loving it.” \nFeaturing several Sue Foley originals\, as well as songs from some of her favorite blues and roots artists\, Pinky’s Blues showcases Sue Foley (guitar\, vocals)\, accompanied by Chris “Whipper” Layton (drums)\, Jon Penner (bass)\, and Mike Flanigin (Hammond B3 organ)\, who also produced the album. The legendary Jimmie Vaughan joins is a special guest on rhythm guitar on the track\, “Hurricane Girl.” \nPinky’s Blues is the follow up to Sue Foley’s award-winning album\, The Ice Queen\, (2018). Foley’s new album is a raw\, electric guitar driven romp through the backroads of Texas blues\, with Foley’s signature pink paisley Fender Telecaster\, “Pinky\,” at the wheel. \nFoley won “Best Traditional Female (Koko Taylor Award)” at the 2020 Blues Music Awards in Memphis\, was nominated for a Juno Award (Canadian Grammy)\, and she took home the award for “Best Guitar Player” at the Toronto Maple Blues Awards. For the last few years Foley and her band have kept a rigorous touring schedule across the USA\, Canada and Europe. Some highlights were appearances at Love Rocks NYC (with Cyndi Lauper\, Dave Mathews and Tedeschi Trucks) at The Beacon Theater (NYC)\, guesting with Jimmie Vaughan (opening for Eric Clapton) at Royal Albert Hall in London\, Montreal Jazz Festival\, Ottawa Bluesfest (with Buddy Guy)\, Moulin Blues (Holland)\, NPR’s Mountain Stage (with Bela Fleck)\, and The Jungle Show (with Billy F Gibbons and Jimmie Vaughan) in Austin\, Texas.

SUMMARY:Big Dave McLean’s 70th Birthday Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Due to a forecast of rain\, we’ll be celebrating Big Dave McLean’s 70th birthday in the club tonight!\n\n\nBig Dave McLean (born August 23\, 1952) is a Canadian blues guitarist\, harmonicist\, singer and songwriter. A veteran performer\, his work has had an influence on many western Canadian blues musicians\, including Colin James and Wide Mouth Mason. Notable McLean songs include “She’s Got the Stuff”\, “Kanadiana”\, “Up On Waverly”\, and “St. Mary At Main”. \n \nBig Dave McLean \nBorn \nAugust 23\, 1952 (age 68) \nYorkton\, Saskatchewan\, Canada \nOrigin \nWinnipeg\, Manitoba\, Canada \nGenres \nBlues \nOccupation(s) \nGuitarist\, harmonicist\, singer and songwriter \nInstruments \nGuitar\, harmonica\, vocals \nYears active \n1970s–present \nLabels \nStony Plain Records\, Black Hen Music \nBillboard noted that “Big Dave’s been the quintessential behind-the-scene bluesman. He’s done more to shape the Western Canadian blues scene than perhaps any other artist”. \n \nIn 2019\, Big Dave McLean was awarded the Order of Canada for his musical influence of Delta and Chicago blues and for mentoring musicians. \n \nLife and career	Edit \n \nMcLean was born in Yorkton\, Saskatchewan\, Canada\, to a concert pianist mother\, and a Presbyterian minister father. They later lived in Moose Jaw\, before relocating to Winnipeg\, Manitoba when Dave was at the age of 10. Introduced to the blues as a teenager via his older brother’s record collection\, the two siblings travelled to the Mariposa Folk Festival in Toronto in 1969. Whilst there\, John P. Hammond gave McLean an impromptu lesson on guitar playing\, to supplement the latter’s rudimentary efforts thus far at playing the harmonica. This meeting saw McLean learning how to play Bo Diddley’s\, “I’m a Man”. McLean much later recalled the incident stating that Hammond was “one of the most courteous gentlemen on this planet\, you know\, totally helpful\, inspiring”. \n \nMcLean starting playing at the Regina Folk Club\, and at the Winnipeg Folk Festival\, where he gained experience before releasing his debut album\, Muddy Waters For President (1989)\, which was recorded at the Bud’s On Broadway club in Saskatoon. McLean had previously opened for his musical hero\, Muddy Waters. \n \nThe follow up was For The Blues… Always (1998)\, an attempt to spread his music to a wider audience. The album was produced by Colin James and recorded in Vancouver\, with musicians James (guitar)\, Norm Fisher (bass)\, Eric Webster (piano) and Chris Norquiest (drums)\, all augmenting McLean’s work. The track listing included McLean’s cover versions of “Little Red Rooster” (Willie Dixon)\, “Just Your Fool” (Little Walter)\, “Dust My Broom” (Elmore James)\, “Rollin’ and Tumblin'” (Muddy Waters) and “Cakewalk Into Town” (Taj Mahal). The three-day recording’s budget was only $1\,600. In addition to performing and recording\, McLean spent around 20 years regularly doing odd jobs\, such as construction work\, to supplement his income. \n \nIn 1998\, he played in a duo with Tim Williams at the Calgary Folk Music Festival. McLean has also appeared solo at the Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Fest. \n \nBlues from the Middle (2003) was his second Stony Plains release\, and included guest contributions from Sue Foley and Duke Robillard. It was followed by Acoustic Blues (Got ‘Em From The Bottom) in 2008. \n \nFaded But Not Gone was released in 2014 on Black Hen Music\, and dealt with the aftermath of the deaths of McLean’s mother and brother. Recorded in Nashville\, the album contained contributions from Colin Linden\, Colin James\, and Kevin McKendree\, with Ann and Regina McCrary on backing vocals. \n \nIn 2015\, McLean starred in a low budget film documentary\, Ain’t About the Money\, exploring the trials and tribulations in performing the blues. \n \nOther ventures	Edit \n \nPatrick Friesen wrote Singer\, a docu-drama on Richard Manuel for CBC Radio Manitoba (1989)\, which featured McLean; as well as Voice\, a 1996 radio documentary (featuring McLean and Tracey Dahl)\, by CBC Radio Manitoba and produced by Andrea Ratuski. \n \nIn 1991\, Saturday Night Blues\, a compilation album of recordings by Canadian blues performers\, was released by Stony Plain Records and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It contained the Big Dave McLean and the Muddy-Tones track\, “T.V. Preacher Blues”. In 2006\, McLean contributed the track “Howlin’ for My Baby” to Saturday Night Blues: 20 Years\, a double compilation album also released by CBC. \n \nIn 2005\, The Perpetrators contributed to a tribute album to McLean\, entitled We Best Choose to Pick the Blues. \n \nAwards	Edit \n \nWhisky Award\, 2005 \nRunner-up for Singer Of The Year \nWestern Canadian Music Award\, 2004 \nOutstanding Blues Recording – Blues from the Middle \nPrairie Music Award\, 1999 \nOutstanding Blues Recording – For the Blues… Always \nGreat Canadian Blues Award\, 1998 \nJuno Award \n1992 (winner – Saturday Night Blues) \n2009 (nominated) \n2016 (nominated) \nMaple Blues Award nominations: \nAcoustic Act Of The Year\, 1998\, 1999\, 2000 & 2003 \nBlues With A Feeling Award\, 2007 (winner) \nToronto Blues Society Lifetime Achievement Award \nOrder of Canada\, 2019

DESCRIPTION:Micah Erenberg “Songs From The Secret Beach” with Sophie Stevens\, Skyblues\, Curtis Falk\, Blue McLeod\, Fontine\, and The Famous Sandhogs.\n\n\nThe Secret Beach is the moniker used by bedroom folk artist\, Micah Erenberg\, whose refreshingly plainspoken candor has become a dominant through-line in the singer/songwriter’s ever-expanding catalog. Whether releasing records under his own name\, or lending his talents as a producer\, Erenberg exists in a constant whirlpool of creation. This latest offering\, Songs From The Secret Beach\, finds beauty in the mundanity of daily life. Produced by Erenberg\, and mixed by revered producer/engineer Rob Schnapf (Kurt Vile\, Beck\, Cass Mccombs)\, this collection is at once an exercise in restraint\, as well as an arrestingly lush exploration of sonic possibility. \nSince the release of his 2016 debut\, Erenberg has toured extensively in support of his solo pursuits. Previously signed to the now defunct Canadian indie label Sleepless Records (Michael Rault\, July Talk) for his well-regarded 2019 release Love Is Gonna Find You\, Erenberg’s brand of unabashed lyrical honesty\, and vulnerable talk-like delivery has earned admiration from audiences across North America and Europe. \nOf his process\, Erenberg states\, “A lot of music inherently mimics other music. It’s just natural because there is so much music out there. It’s impossible not to be inspired and shaped by the music you hear\, so I try to draw more of my inspiration from non-musical things; physical experiences\, conversations\, feelings\, sensations\, and inner reflections\, in an attempt to achieve some form of genuine originality.” This exercise is clearly displayed on the track “God Is\,” where Erenberg offers Lennon-esq narratives of the co-existence of god and man in raw glamor-less situations. Similarly\, on the title track\, Erenberg delivers a juxtaposition between a blissfully playful arrangement\, and a whimsically disguised commentary on the fragility of human existence. This is a common place practice for the singer-songwriter\, who seamlessly maneuvers between carefree melodicism and heavy subject matter. The wisdom of this record exists between the cracks. There is a nuance that could easily be overlooked. However\, Songs From The Secret Beach takes a courageous and uninhibited stab at honesty\, and it may be the best kept secret you discover this year.

SUMMARY:Ridley Bent and The Killer Tumbleweeds
DESCRIPTION:“In my heart\,” Ridley Bent says\, sounding for the world like a character from one of his own songs\, “I rock.”\n\n\nLike Ridley Bent’s past records\, Rabbit On My Wheel reads like a collection of short stories\, showcasing the Western Canada based Country artist’s keen fascination for characters whose life on the straight and narrow rarely lasts past the nearest exit to a short\, crooked road. \n \nOn Rabbit On My Wheel\, the 2009 CCMA nominee and 7-time BCCMA winner’s storytelling and songwriting chops are sharper than ever. But where Ridley’s 2005 MapleMusic Recordings debut\, Blam\, and Buckles and Boots\, his 2007 followup on Open Road Recordings\, ranged far and wide across the continent\, this time out Ridley sticks a little closer to his life at home and on the road in Western Canada. \n \nAlthough the tales are still as tall as they come\, and the characters as large as life or larger\, the cast of hard-drinking\, fast-driving characters Ridley unleashes on Rabbit On My Wheel tend to be a shade less hell-bent on self-destruction than they are with keeping their lives between the lines and out of the ditch. \n \nWhile that may be so\, musically Rabbit On My Wheel definitely kicks it up a notch or six from Ridley’s last record. “In my heart\,” he says\, sounding for the world like a character from one of his own songs\, “I rock.” So does Rabbit On My Wheel… \n \nRecorded in Vancouver’s Factory Studios and Nashcroft Productions in Ashcroft\, BC with returning producer John MacArthur Ellis (Jane Siberry\, Dustin Bentall\, Jeremy Fisher)\, the album brings together the same crack musical team Ridley hit the road with after releasing Buckles and Boots. It also finds Ridley still hip deep in a passionate love affair with old school Country\, but where many of the songs on his past records have come together largely during recording sessions\, these show the distinct marks of having been dragged back and forth across the country a few times. “The band’s tighter\,” Ridley says bluntly. “We worked out a lot of these songs live and only had about a week off after a nice\, long tour with Corb Lund before we went into the studio in December 2009.” \n \nAs tight as they are\, there’s still an off-the-cuff immediacy to the record that’s a consistent hallmark of Ellis’ production. “I like to maintain the spontaneity on the record\,” Ellis explains. “Some producers grind you down to get what they want out of you to the point where it’s like\, ‘well\, why don’t you go and play the !!#?@*!! thing yourself?’ I spend a lot of time selecting musicians. I know what they’re going to bring to the table and I just kind of wrap my arms around that. And the better Ridley gets\,” Ellis adds\, “the better the band gets.” \n \nRabbit On My Wheel also benefits from a collaboration that began shortly after Ridley’s relocation to Winnipeg in 2008\, with guitarist/songwriter Chris Dunn. “Him and I did a lot of writing and working on the songs. Before this I’d get the songs\, go in to the studio with the band and work it out. Having a guitar player there to bounce ideas off in the pre\, pre production was very valuable. He’s a big part of the album.” \n \nChanneling the high-energy performance ethic of artists like Dwight Yoakum and Little Feat\, Ridley and his band tear a deep strip off the joint with tracks like “Square Your Hat”\, which features a guest appearance by renowned Canadian guitarist Luke Doucet (Veal\, Sarah McLachlan)\, “Good Looking Country”\, a song inspired by Ridley’s one and only\, who he moved from Vancouver to Manitoba to be with\, and the album’s closing track “Burning Down Barns”\, on which every player in the band gets a chance to wail. \n \nAs ever\, there are quieter moments as well. Ridley’s never afraid to pepper his records with a few thoughts on love and loneliness – and his evolving cast of moonshine-running\, racecar-driving malcontents tend to know their way around the ladies as well as they do the back roads of the west. Of course these are love stories told the way only Ridley can; tracks that run the gamut from hard and bitter to hardly better\, including a beautifully rendered\, deliberately down-tempo take on the classic Dickey Lee song made famous by George Jones in 1962\, “She Thinks I Still Care”. \n \nWhile much of Ridley’s new material is drawn from real life experiences he’s gathered up on the road\, Rabbit On My Wheel still has its share of shady characters\, jackknifing tractor-trailers and whiskey-fuelled bar fights. And for those who identify strongly with Ridley’s less reasonable characters – the ones who tend to prefer to stir things up with a pistol in one hand and a bottle in the other – there’s The Blood Trilogy. A companion EP recorded during the same sessions and co-written with Dunn – a highly satisfying three-song western epic of violence and vengeance informed by Ridley’s ongoing fascination with the bleak worlds of writers like John Steinbeck and Cormac McCarthy. \n \nSimply put\, whether it’s love going strong but wrong in “Livin’ With Her Ex”\, the straight up hooks of the album’s title track\, or the three way struggle between Junior Johnson\, the whiskey and the wife\, on lead single\, “I Can’t Turn My Back On the Bottle”\, Rabbit On My Wheel has everything listeners have come to expect from Ridley Bent and more – A smoking twelve-song set chock full of fast cars\, fine looking ladies and fist fights that finds Ridley burning through a landscape of big country skies\, with one hand on the steering wheel and one eye on the bottle every mile of the way.
