The Ottawa Blues Society sponsors the Capital Fair Blues Revue on August 13.
Bands playing today include:
D.B. Cohen and the Revelers - 2 pm
Lyle Odjick and Northern Steam - 4 pm
Tony D - 6 pm
The Angelique Francis Band - 8 pm
D.B Cohen's brass laden sound is described by his producer Mark ‘Snowboy’ Cotgrove as 'modern roots music'. DB Cohen sounds like a cross between Paul Weller, Ray Davies, Chicago Blues and Two Tone Ska'. Expect hard hitting lyrics and a huge sound from the troubadour from south London. The best dang 7 piece band this side of the Mississippi. Blues/Ska/Folk from London by way of Aylmer.
Originally from the Algonquin reservation of Kitigan Zibi, QC., Lyle Odjick went from living in a small town to starting his own blues band in Ottawa. Less than a month later “The Northern Steam” was formed and became a solid foundation for his Chicago blues harmonica driven sound.
Tony D is a Canadian Blues Guitarist and Multiple award winner, including the individual 2009 Maple Blues Award for guitarist of the year.
He is the front man of his own band, a member of the spectacularly successful JUNO-winning blues band MonkeyJunk, and an important figure for many young musicians in Ottawa and the valley.
Born and raised in Ottawa Canada, Angelique is a naturally gifted and versatile musician. This multi-talented, instrumentalist, singer song writer and composer has wowed audiences across the globe with her electrifying performances, instrumental abilities and powerful textured vocals. Angelique hosted and performed at the 25th Annual Maple Blues awards in June 2022.
