Downchild Blues Band: http://www.downchild.com/
Canada's legendary Downchild Blues Band are celebrating their 35th
Anniversary Tour with a not to be missed performance with very special
guest David Gogo. To commemorate their Anniversary, the Band has
recorded a brand new Cd Come On In that features all new material with
guest appearances by, James Cotton, Jeff Healey, Gene Taylor(T-Birds),
David Gogo and Tom Lavin (Powder Blues Band).

With such memorable hits as "Flip, Flop and Fly", "I Have Everything I
Need (Almost)", "Trying to Keep Her 88's Straight" and "Shotgun Blues",
the Downchild Blues Band have successfully kept the dance floor full
while entertaining fans around the world. The band is led by founding
member Donnie "Mr. Downchild" Walsh, who started the band in 1969 at the
now infamous Toronto watering hole, Grossman's Tavern, with his since
passed brother, Richard "Hock" Walsh. It was at Grossman's Tavern that
movie star Dan Ackroyd first saw Donnie and Hock perform. Clearly they
made a major impression, as the two brothers served as inspiration for
Ackroyd and John Belushi's hit film the "Blues Brothers." Two Downchild
songs "I Have Everything I Need (Almost) and "Shotgun Blues" were
featured on the first "Blues Brothers" album, in 1978 entitled Briefcase
Full of Blues.

David Gogo: http://www.davidgogo.com/
Nanaimo's own, David Gogo will kick off this fabulous double bill with
his band, as a Cd Release Party to launch his brand new Cd Vibe. His
seventh album, Vibe, is an all-original affair with a unique blend of
songs written with the likes of Tom Wilson (Junkhouse/Blackie & The
Rodeo Kings), Craig Northey (The Odds/Colin James) and John Capek, who
has penned hits such as "Rhythm of My Heart" for Rod Stewart. Vibe not
only showcases Gogo's guitar prowess but demonstrates his powerful vocal
strengths on songs like "I'll Do Anything" and "300 Pound Shoes."

In July, David Gogo had the pleasure of performing at the International
Jazz Festival in Montreal as a special guest with the legendary Bob
Walsh. Gogo performed a soulful version of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"
with Bob Walsh and his incredible band and sat in on guitar with Walsh
and Dawn Tyler Watson for "Purple Haze."
