SUMMARY:Lucas Stagg & The Junctioneers
DESCRIPTION:Based in the heart of Toronto’s Junction\, Stagg has toured endlessly and released over a dozen albums in the past two decades\, each a reflection of his choice of the troubadour life. By turns confessional and narrative\, the songs are presented in an unadorned performance style that throws their lyrical and melodic content into sharp relief. It’s edgy and cartoony; country\, blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

SUMMARY:Sugar Brown
DESCRIPTION:There is something to be said about the dedication\, ambition\, and determination of a scholar; the drive to be the best and to offer his best work on whatever project is presented. Enter Sugar Brown\, aka Dr. Ken Kawashima\, PhD. Kawashima is a scholar and professor of East Asian history\, as well as a scholar of music. His chosen musical endeavour is classic blues music and a concerted effort to record and preserve the unmistakable Chicago blues sound that harkens back to Chess Record’s famous releases. Sugar Brown’s two album releases have stunned listeners and reviewers around the world\, with his ease and force in playing and singing blues. He quickly earned recognition for his classic style and raucous performances from the media and festival bookers coast-to-coast. Recently\, Sugar Brown’s repertoire has morphed beyond Chicago blues and into a more chaotic and wild space shared by the Texas blues of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Frankie Lee Sims\, as well as the trancelike blues of northern Mississippi’s R.L. Burnside. Sugar Brown’s highly developed song writing\, guitar prowess and vocals reveal his many diverse grooves\, shades\, and styles. Sugar Brown’s blues is sweet\, dark\, inconsolable\, raw\, and wild.

SUMMARY:The Del-Fis
DESCRIPTION:I don’t know what The Del Fi’s are; the more I think about it\, the more I don’t know what to say. But I know it’s right\, and I know it’s good. I know it works. I mean\, it’s Jerry Leger’s thing\, but when I asked him what he would say The Del Fi’s are\, all he would tell me is that I (meaning me) am The Del Fi’s\, just as you (meaning you) are The Del Fi’s. And because you are you\, you understand. Don’t you? \nOkay\, maybe we should try this again. Jerry Leger is a Toronto singer/songwriter\, and one of the best in the world\, as far as I’m concerned. If you haven’t heard him\, you have no right to be one of these people constantly moaning about how music was so much better when people actually played instruments\, blah\, blah\, blah. \nJerry loves Bob Dylan\, Neil Young and John Lennon. Sometimes it sounds as though all three are fighting for space in his songs. But those songs are his own\, the product of a natural born storyteller with a sense of rhythm that would make Little Richard’s big toe shoot up in his boot. \nJerry’s songs hit deep in your soul\, but he also often loves just making music with folks just to flex some of his old time rock and roll muscles\, and explore some of the paths his songwriting normally doesn’t take. That’s kinda where The Del Fi’s come in. \nIt’s rock and roll that we all care about right? I’m sure you wouldn’t still be reading this if you didn’t agree. So I guess that does make you a Del Fi. Welcome aboard and grab an instrument\, we’ve got a show to do.
