SUMMARY:Colin Linden Early Show
DESCRIPTION:Colin Linden Early Show\nFriday June 19 Early Show Doors 4:00 Show 5:30Tickets $ 39.75\n\non sale now at Bozzini’s or call 604 792 0744 to reserve by phone\n(No refunds – exchanges for a future show allowed up to 48 hrs prior to showtime)\n\nSo glad to be welcoming back the wonderful and GRAMMY award winning Colin Linden\n\nColin Linden’s tale is the stuff of legend\, the kind told in the Coen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou or Inside Llewyn Davis\, both of which featured his guitar playing on the soundtracks. That film would begin with an 11-year-old meeting his musical idol Howlin’ Wolf at a matinee show in his native Toronto\, accompanied by his mom\, who took a picture of the two during a nearly two-hour long conversation before the gig\, the legendary bluesman idling over coffee and cigarettes.\n“I’m an old man now\, and I won’t be around much longer\,” Wolf told him. “It’s up to you to carry it on.”\n\nLinden still carries that frayed photograph in his wallet\, along with a Sears 5/8” socket wrench in his pocket to play slide guitar. He has taken Wolf’s plea seriously\, performing since he was 12 years old\, leaving home as a teenager to travel the south at the invitation of Mississippi Sheiks delta blues guitarist Sam Chatmon which took him to Detroit\, Chicago\, Indianapolis\, St. Louis\, Memphis and Hollandale\, Mississippi\, meeting and visiting the sites of his heroes – Brownie McGhee\, Muddy Waters\, Sippie Wallace\, Tampa Red\, Blind John Davis\, the Rev. Robert Wilkins\, Sleepy John Estes and Son House\, visiting the landmarks and juke joints\, many of which he’s played in during the course of a 45-year career producing and playing blues and roots music. As a singer/guitarist\, he’s accompanied everyone from Bruce Cockburn (as his producer and touring musician) to Bob Dylan\, Greg Allman\, Rihannon Giddens\, Pistol Annies\, John Prine and more.\nHe was the main contributor to the music for the Nashville TV show and subsequent live tours. Along the way\, Linden played on over 500 albums and produced 140\, including his first-ever actual Grammy in 2020 for producing Keb Mo’s Oklahoma\, winner for Best Americana Album. He has also nabbed a staggering 25 Juno Award nominations and nine wins.\n\nLinden’s latest solo album\, bLOW\, the first outside artist on longtime friend Lucinda Williams’ Highway 20 label distributed by Nashville-based Thirty Tigers\, is his 14th in 40 years\, but first electric blues release. The title song comes from being stuck inside a flimsy motel after a casino gig somewhere in Oklahoma or Texas as a tornado was about to hit\, waiting for the walls to cave in\, with his wife\, the novelist Janice Powers\, providing not only the opening verse quoted above\, but the gurgling Hammond B3 organ left to him by his former bandmate\, the late Richard Bell\, played\, in her own words\, “like a deranged church lady.”

SUMMARY:Nigel Mack (solo)
DESCRIPTION:Nigel Mack (solo)Monday July 27 Doors 6:00 Show 7:30Tickets $ 25.00 at Bozzini’s or call 604 792 0744 to reserve by phone\nBlistering Slide\, Killer HarpOur good friend Nigel Mack returns! Always a great show. Nigel gives it his all!\n\n\nChicago blues ‘triple threat’ (slide guitar\, harmonica and vocals) Nigel Mack delivers a high-energy show that fuses blues classics with the punch of contemporary original blues. Seamlessly switching between instruments\, Nigel Mack is equally proficient at them all. These are talents honed by years of relentless touring in support of his four critically-acclaimed releases; Back In Style\, Devil’s Secrets\, Road Rage and High Price to Play.  Nigel’s new all-original album\, Back In Style is receiving glowing reviews and attained #1 on the RMR Contemporary Blues Charts!  His previous release\, Devil’s Secrets\, reached #1 on the Canadian blues charts and won ‘Best Self-Produced CD’ from the Windy City Blues Society\, in Chicago. \nMack’s original compositions have been featured on television sound-tracks ‘Dawson’s Creek’\, ‘The Street’ and ‘Time of Your Life’. \nNigel Mack has been living in Chicago\, IL since 2003 and performing in the ‘the home of the blues’\, since 1992.  Over the years ‘Nigel Mack Blues Attack’ have logged over a million miles across North America and Europe and headlined top blues venues throughout. They have appeared at the world famous ‘Chicago Blues Festival’ six times and toured virtually every one of the United States and most of Canada.  Mack’s dynamic stage show is a favorite at clubs and festivals everywhere. \nNigel grew up in Saskatoon\, Canada\, listening to the music of the ‘60’s\, Bebop jazz and Big Bands emanating from his Dad’s stereo.  Saskatoon’s university and location guaranteed that everybody touring western Canada played there. The types of artists were varied and eclectic: Muddy Waters\, Count Basie\, Duke Ellington and Stevie Ray Vaughan\, just to name a few. \nThe ‘blues explosion’ in the mid-eighties led to a weekly gig at ‘Buds on Broadway’\, which featured touring blues artists from all over.  As Saturday jam session host\, Nigel met and performed with blues legends such as  Eddy Shaw\, Phil Guy\, Amos Garrett\, Brent Parkin and Big Dave Mclean. \nIn the spring of 1988 Nigel and his band relocated to the musical hotbed\, Vancouver\, BC.  From this west coast base Mack built a strong local following and toured around western Canada. \nIn 1992\, Nigel received a call from Chicago blues band leader Eddie Lusk inviting him to perform during the Chicago Blues Festival with ‘The Professor’s Blues Revue’.  Nigel seized the opportunity and began touring the US with a vengeance\, racking up seventeen American/Canadian coast to coast tours over the next ten years. \n1996 saw the release of Mack’s first full length all-original CD High Price to Play.  It garnered critical acclaim\, a nomination for ‘Best Blues/R&B Album’ at the 1997 ‘West Coast Music Awards’ and three songs on major TV sound tracks! \nNigel Mack followed High Price to Play with Road Rage\, released in 2001. Essentially a live album\, Road Rage blends blues classics with original songs and three studio tracks. It continues to be a favorite among fans. \nWhen not touring\, Nigel spends the majority of time recording and performing in and around Chicago. A decade earlier\, the seeds of this move had been planted. On that first trip\, Eddie Lusk had said\, “This is where you should be!” With the release of ‘Back In Style’\, his chart-topping\, all-original album\, Nigel Mack is building on past successes and bringing his own brand of Chicago blues to a new generation of blues fans. \n

SUMMARY:Simon Kempston
DESCRIPTION:Simon Kempston\nSunday Oct 25Doors 6:00 Show 7:30Tickets $ 29.50 at Bozzini’s or call 604 792 0744 to book by phone\nhttps://simonkempston.co.uk/Presented by ManoFest Music\n(no refunds – exchanges for other shows allowed up to 48 hours prior to event)\n\nMaking his Chilliwack debut\nSimon Kempston is ‘one of Scotland’s very best songwriters’ (The Herald on Sunday)\, a composer and ‘a master of fingerstyle guitar’ (The Scotsman) based in Edinburgh\, Scotland. \nThere are very few artists who manage to create a sound on an acoustic guitar which is distinctive\, instantly recognisable.  Simon’s complex finger-picking style\, which draws from the disparate genres of classical\, celtic and blues (amongst others) confirms he is certainly one such artist\, his subtle style providing the perfect accompaniment for his rich\, powerful and compelling tenor vocals. \nHis outstanding songs showcase thought-provoking\, inspiring poetic lyrics which often sidestep the usual themes of love and attraction\, in favour of offering crucial\, important political and social commentary.  Fascinations with architecture\, travel and English literature have all informed his impressive lyrical style\, words which can stand alone as poetry in their own right apart from the music. \nLive performances are well-known for their intensity\, Simon’s true passion for music and songs shine through in his critically acclaimed shows.  With more than a decade of international touring behind him in 32 European countries\, Siberian Russia\, Uzbekistan (the first Scottish artist to do so)\, Canada (10 tours)\, New Zealand\, Argentina and Brazil he has performed at a countless number of esteemed venues\, festivals\, and on a plethora of international radio and television stations. \nSimon’s latest album sees him reignite his relationship with Ian McCalman as producer and it is his most honest\, direct and heartfelt collection of songs yet\, the perfect companion piece for these troubled times.  ‘My Dreams Are Theirs’\, released in late 2024\, showcases his sheer talent for songwriting of the highest order. \nNever one to follow expectations\, only his prolific\, creative muse\, in Summer 2023 Simon released his first album of classical guitar pieces\, entitled ‘Moonrise Over Mostar’\, following on from four previous instrumental acoustic guitar albums.  Immerse yourself in the soundscape of this incredibly talented performer and allow his beautifully crafted music to transport you on a uniquely Scottish journey.
