SUMMARY:Whiskey Business
DESCRIPTION:Whiskey Business is a powerhouse four-piece that channels the grit\, groove\, and soul of Southern rock at its finest. Fueled by bluesy swagger and vintage attitude\, they bring the magic of groove-driven rock to life with every performance. Their deep-cut setlist rides through the swampy riffs of the Black Crowes and the Allman Brothers Band\, and taps into the raw\, blues-soaked energy of The Rolling Stones. But it doesn’t stop there—Whiskey Business also blends in the psychedelic-folk edge of Blind Melon\, the funk-rock punch of Lenny Kravitz\, and proudly tips their hat to Canadian icons like Big Sugar and The Tragically Hip. Every show is a high-octane journey down a dusty highway of rock ‘n’ roll classics—played loud and with heart. Their sound drips with southern-fried soul and no-frills authenticity\, delivering a mix of back-porch boogie and roadhouse riot that gets bodies moving and heads nodding. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of bluesy rock\, a lover of classic cuts\, or just chasing a damn good time—Whiskey Business serves it up straight\, no chaser. \nBand members: \nJeremy Oudit – Lead vocals\, Guitar & Ukulele \nChris Wise – Bass \nJay Cleary – Guitar \nNeil DeGasperis – Drums & Back-up vocals

Now\, after years on the Toronto club circuit (playing the likes of Cameron House\, Castro’s Lounge\, C’est What\, El Mocambo\, Rancho Relaxo\, and the NXNE festival)\, mainstays Craig and Peter have taken to backyard parties and neighbourhood pubs\, just two acoustics and a growing list of standards. With countless songs in the fire\, here lies the promise of sweet sing-alongs to come.

SUMMARY:Danny Marks
DESCRIPTION:This iconic rocker’s roots go back to the sixties as a founding member of Capitol Records’ group\, Edward Bear. After a span as a journey man session musician throughout the seventies\, Danny settled in to the club scene\, establishing a cult following as a genre bender in music and humor. \nA house band gig at Toronto’s famed Albert’s Hall led him to host his own nation-wide TV show\, Stormy Monday. Through the eighties\, Danny starred in CBC radio’s hit series the Hum Line. \nMost recently\, Danny Marks recorded two original music albums\, Guitarchaeology and True\, before paying tribute to Toronto’s R&B roots with Big Town Boy in 2005. \nDanny’s in his thirteenth year as the radio host of JAZZ.FM91’s Saturday night blues show\, bluz.fm. \nAs a child\, young Danny would lock himself in his room with a stack of 45’s\, an old Seabreeze record player\, and a fantasy of having his own radio show. More than a few years later this pre-pubescent propensity paid off.

SUMMARY:Mike Daley & Jenie Thai
DESCRIPTION:When you meet her\, Jenie Thai is composed\, pleasant\, amiable\, friendly\, and — she won’t like the word but you have to live with it — sweet.

A professional musician for over 30 years\, Mike has toured Canada\, the United States and England and has recorded extensively in a variety of musical styles. He is a longtime member of Fraser/Daley with bassist Alec Fraser and is also proud to work with a variety of bands around Toronto including the Tom Waits Appreciation Congregation\, the Travellers and others. \n
