“Cassie and Maggie… What an unbelievably gifted duo, the train is just gathering steam and leaving the station on these new stars. It is going to be a glorious journey, and it is already well-begun.” –Live Ireland Radio- Dublin, IR

From the deepest roots of Canada and its very earliest musical traditions come Nova Scotian sisters Cassie and Maggie, putting their own 21st Century stamp on the Celtic soundtrack of this nation. Exciting and innovative, their talent is surpassed only by the sheer joy they exude in performance. Alternating between Gaelic and English, traditional and contemporary, haunting and electrifying, the duo is nothing short of mesmerizing.
Born to a family of deep Nova Scotia roots and a rich musical history, the two have been enchanting audiences around the world with their unparalleled unity of strings, voices and fabulous percussive step dance. Theirs is the perfect balance between musical integrity and sheer entertainment as they seamlessly blend tunes passed down through generations of musicians with their own songwriting, borrowing from other writers, other genres and other eras.
They’re turning heads wherever they go – 2018 JUNO award nominees, Galaxie Radio Rising Star award winners, 17 Canadian Folk Music, East Coast Music and Music Nova Scotia awards and nominations, Female Singers of the Year by Live Ireland Radio, Female Vocal Album of the Year by Chicago Irish American News, and Album of the Year by NPR’s Celtic Connection – the list goes on.”
“Be it their foot percussion accompanying driving Nova Scotian sets, their perfect blend of sibling harmonies, added to a stunning interplay on various instruments, a musical evening spent with Cassie and Maggie is a great night, altogether” -Irish Music Magazine. Their new album, The Willow Collection “showcases not only their musical ability, but the depth and variety of their musicianship.”

“An agile voice, ruminative songwriting, and love for classic country, indie pop, and everything in between.” — American Songwriter

In March 2020, Canadian folk & country artist Sarah Jane Scouten was living in rural Scotland. With tours cancelled, days stretched endlessly, punctuated only by the steady unfolding of Scottish springtime, leaf by leaf, petal by petal. Growing up on the west coast of Canada, to her the flora of Dumfries and Galloway was a pageant of scent and colour, altogether new but still strangely familiar.
This is where Sarah Jane was initiated into herbal medicine – hawthorn, valerian, yarrow. The plants’ subtle power drew her onto an unexpected path. In May 2020 she applied to a professional programme in herbal medicine in the UK. Training in an entirely different field gave her perspective and space from a career in music which demands everything. It renewed Sarah Jane’s love of live performance, which had been diminished by life on the road. Studying herbs, and just as importantly people, gave her music a deeper dimension and she began to write again. Now for the first time this decade, she is releasing new music.
Sarah Jane Scouten’s fifth album Turned to Gold (Light Organ Records) is a road trip album, drawing on Tom Petty, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Christine McVie. Opening up the record, “Wanderlust” is a highway dream. “Wilder When I Was With You”, with its irresistible chorus, was co-written with Samantha Parton (BeGood Tanyas). “Rose and Carnations” is a tribute to John Prine and “The Great Unknown” reveals a family experience of medical assistance in dying (MAID). For the title track “Turned to Gold”, Sarah Jane revisits the impact of the sudden loss of her biological mother, exploring the theme of alchemical transmutation. Made in a heatwave in Vancouver, she collaborated with producer Johnny Payne (The Shilohs), Matt Kelly on keys and guitars (City and Colour), Leon Power on drums (Frazey Ford) and James McEleney on bass (Andrew Collins Trio).
Sarah Jane Scouten has been nominated for 4 Canadian Folk Music Awards, a Western Canadian Music Award and an International Folk Music Award. She has performed at Vancouver Folk Music Festival, MerleFest, Calgary Folk Music Festival, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Dranouter Festival, Maverick Americana Music Festival and more. She has opened for Corb Lund, William Prince, Ron Sexsmith, The Sadies and shared the stage with Martha Wainwright, The Strumbellas, Allison Russell, Martin Carthy, Mandolin Orange (Watchhouse) and more. According to CBC q’s Tom Power, “Stan Rogers was able to do it, Ron Hynes was able to do it, Kate McGarrigle was able to do it – and Sarah Jane Scouten is able to do it.”

This will be Jeff’s fourth time at Bozzini’s. Usually he’s joined by others on the bill but tonight it’s just going to be an evening with… Just Jeff, his stories of life and music from Austin Texas to Campbell River BC, with a lot of world class Guitar playing and singing.
J. Plank (Jeff Plankenhorn) is a BC-based, internationally touring singer-songwriter and master of the lap steel guitar. Known for soulful vocals, dynamic stagecraft, and a sound that bridges roots, blues, and folk, he has spent decades captivating audiences across North America, Europe, and Japan. Plank is a highly respected musician recognized for his skill as a slide guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist, gaining acclaim both as a solo artist and as a sought-after session player. His style blends blues, folk, and roots into a sound that’s uniquely his own.
In 2025, he released The Bend, a stripped-down solo acoustic album recorded on the Texas coast, showcasing just his voice, lap steel, acoustic guitar, and piano. Later this year he will follow it with a high-energy roots rock album recorded in the Netherlands with the band The Southern Aces — a project that blends live-off-the-floor energy with wizardly guitar playing, innovative songwriting, and, most of all, deep groove.
Plank’s career includes collaborations with a wide range of artists, headline festival slots, and multiple Austin Music Award nominations for Musician of the Year, Best Guitarist, and a win for Best Misc. Instrument for “The Plank,” a hybrid lap steel guitar he designed himself. For him, music is about bringing people together — whether biker or drag queen, listener or dancer — to share in the joy and connection that only a great song can deliver…

“Texan Alt. Country Folk Rock Filtered through a Cool Canadian Copper Still (headline) “Alone At Sea” combines a Folk Singers’ poetic sensibilities with a razor sharp melody and an arrangement that will send a shiver down your spine the first time you hear it. Juggling Sand is a Stones alike constrained rifferama from either (or both) their Exile on Main Street or Goats Head Soup eras that went some way to defining modern day Rock and Roll, and this song could and should be a perfect fit for whatever claims to be Rock Radio in 2023.”
– The Rocking Magpie 9/29/23
“…his distinctive voice & sparse instrumentation that’s actually layered tones that are subtle & border between the darker Bob Dylan tunes & the melodic meanderings of Tom Waits. Very likable because Plankenhorn is a careful distance from basic mainstream artists. He walks his own road & sometimes it seems he makes his own road.”
– John Apice/Americana Highways 9/28/23

“Yes, it turns out that Plankenhorn has recently relocated to Vancouver Island. For his followers, who have long associated him with Austin where he resided for twenty years, this is quite a change, and aptly the sonic territory is also new, still bluesy in a few spots but leaning more into a folk vernacular. His vocals here take precedence over his guitar mastery. The title track likely traces to the peace Plankenhorn has found in his new locale, as the protagonist learns to appreciate solitude rather than the desperation of being alone. It’s one “Plank” plans to offer in Spanish and French versions in November. Plankenhorn is not as easily pegged this time, indicative of an artist willing to venture into new turf – the brighter moments have staying power.”
– Jim Hynes/Glide Magazine 9/28/23

“Plankenhorn’s journey from stressed daily life, to peaceful pause, to peaceful daily life, is brilliantly underscored by the changes in arrangements. From exotic and ominous to soothing and calming to triumphant and joyful, the musical score could tell the story even without words. But Plankenhorn’s lyrics add depth and charm and personalize this cycle of life that we all face. “Alone At Sea,” is the cathartic break we all could use when we’re feeling stressed.”
– Brian Rock/Turnstyled, Junkpiled – Roots Music Magazine 9/28/23

“The real revelations here, though, are the title track “Alone At Sea” and “Bluer Skies,” which chime and ring with richly melodic guitars as they
draw upon Plankenhorn’s natural charm as a singer.”
– Peter Blackstock/No Depression Magazine, 9/21/23

***A late addition to the Spring calendar but we couldn’t turn down world class talent like this***
Co-presented with our friends at the Mission Folk Festival
Kristian and Ruthie first met each other in the Danish folk music circles in the mid-1990’s, where Ruthie has been touring regularly and growing a reputation as a well-renowned artist and fiddler since the early 1980’s. Later when Kristian was a music student, Ruthie was guest-teaching at the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense, Denmark and Kristian made sure to take the opportunity to study with her while she was there.
About ten years later they met again in and around Seattle when Kristian had started touring and performing in the states. They formed the trio 3 Fiddlers 3 Traditions with métis fiddler Jamie Fox and have continued to meet and play together ever since.
Their repertoire spans from Danish traditional fiddle tunes and music from the other Nordic countries to old-time American and self-composed original tunes, spiced up with a few Venezuelan waltzes. Music learned directly from folk music legends like Danish-American Dwight Lamb (1934-2024), Danish accordion player Karl Skaarup (1924-2013), fiddler Peter Uhrbrand from the Danish island of Fanø and many more.
Expect everything from wild polkas and jigs to lyrical waltzes, fiery reels and happy hopsas, all served with humor and stories from their many years on the road.
About the Artists:
Ruthie Dornfeld (fiddle): Seattle-based fiddler Ruthie Dornfeld has performed and taught for over thirty years at festivals, schools, music and dance camps throughout the U.S. and abroad, from the Manaus Operahouse in the Brazilian Amazon to the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland.
Originally from Oregon, Ruthie started out with classical violin, then discovered fiddle music at age 18 and began her lifelong exploration of traditional fiddle music. She spent 15 years in New England, where she attended Berklee College of Music, was a member of the twin- fiddle stringband The Poodles, played at innumerable contradances, and commuted to Europe to play with The American Cafe Orchestra.
Since 1996 she’s been back in the Pacific Northwest, where she performs with the tango band Tangoheart, accompanying country singing duo Margo Murphy and John Roberts, and playing for local dances.
Ruthie also plays a 5 string medieval fiddle (vielle), and her compositions for that instrument are featured in the recording “Lay of the Waves”, for which she received grants from Artist Trust and the Jack Straw Foundation. She is fluent in a wide range of styles, from Celtic and old-time to Scandinavian and Eastern European, and also enjoys chamber music and free improvisation.
Visit Ruthie’s web site to find out more about what Ruthie is up to.
Kristian Bugge (fiddle): Kristian is very active in the Danish and Scandinavian folk music scene, both as a musician and teacher. Kristian has specialized in the strong Danish folk music traditions, playing with groups like Jensen & Bugge, Morten Alfred & Vingården, Baltic Crossing and Gangspil.
Through his master’s degree from the Carl Nielsen Academy of Music, he specialized in the unique regional styles from many corners of Denmark, at a level that very few of his generation can match or master today. He has continued this work also after his official studies ended and is today one of the most award-winning folk artists in Denmark. And recent years have also led to various crossover projects such as the cooperation with classical percussionist Ronni Kot Wenzel in the very active duo Wenzell & Bugge and the exciting Danish folk big band Habadekuk.
In 2004 Kristian Bugge became the first musician ever to receive the Radium Award, awarded by the Danish Radiós P2. Since then he has received no less than 10 Danish Music Awards (Danish Grammys) both as a soloist and with his groups. To mention a few “Danish Folk Artist of the Year” in both 2011 and 2016 and latest the “Tradition Award” with Gangspil at the Danish Music Awards 2024!

New Album: No Help Coming

By combining climate concerns with everyday concerns, No Help Coming grapples with a global phenomenon through the personal lenses of its four members—and they tracked the record accordingly. The band, minus percussion and an organ, plays every instrument. Everyone sings lead at some point, background at others. Thanks to Vancouver producer Tom Dobrzanski, the overall sound is highly polished, but there are also live off-the-floor takes, song snippets from jam sessions, and voice memo recordings.
The result is an upbeat album that’s both cautionary and uplifting. “Leading up to the recording, we asked environmental experts what was missing from the conversation,” says McLeod. “And they all said the same thing: no more sad songs. We know the world’s messed up. What’s missing are more invitations to get real about making changes. And to do that, we have to get less precious about the subject.”
No Help Coming is more playful than precious. This makes sense, seeing it’s not about the survival of the planet, which will be just fine without us (“After You’re Gone”, “Ash”), but humanity. “It’s an album about resolve,” says Glynn. “It’s upbeat because there’s a lot of resolve to be found in joy. And while humans have a lot of bad things going for us, we can be pretty great at the joy part. So, let’s use it.”

Shirley Gnome is a Juno-nominated comedian, songwriter, and vocalist known for her irreverent fusion of musical talent and razor-sharp wit. Splitting her time between Vancouver, BC, and Montreal, QC, Gnome has carved out a unique niche in the world of musical comedy, delivering biting social commentary through genre-spanning original songs that are as thought-provoking as they are hilarious.
With a voice that’s equal parts soulful and commanding, Gnome blends folk, rock, pop, and country into meticulously crafted songs that challenge taboos and celebrate vulnerability. Her lyrics – unapologetically honest and delightfully spicy – tackle everything from sexual politics and social norms to the absurdities of everyday life. The result is a cathartic experience that leaves audiences laughing, thinking, and humming her catchy tunes long after the show ends.
Gnome began her career in 2009 in Vancouver’s burlesque scene, performing as a variety act and emcee. In 2012, she gained widespread recognition after winning Patrick Maliha’s The People’s Champ of Comedy competition, earning a $20,000 CAD prize and launching her into the national and international spotlight. Since then, she has toured extensively across Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, earning five-star reviews and selling out shows along the way.
She has performed at major festivals including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Just For Laughs (Vancouver), the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and many others. Her work has been featured on CBC Radio’s The Debaters, and SiriusXM.
In 2021, her album Decoxification was nominated for a Juno Award for Comedy Album of the Year, cementing her status as one of Canada’s leading voices in musical comedy. In 2024, she made her national television debut on CBC Gem as part of the Winnipeg Comedy Festival gala broadcasts.
To date, Gnome has released six studio albums and one EP. Her most recent release, Live, Bare and Natural (March 2025), is a live album accompanied by a filmed comedy special.. The project captures the raw power of her live performance – vulnerable, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable. Featuring two different backing bands alongside solo sets, it showcases the full range of her multigenre oeuvre, offering a compelling portrait of the originality and versatility that define her as a truly singular talent.
Beyond the stage, Gnome continues to expand her creative reach. She collaborated with physical comedy duo The Merkin Sisters to co-write their first digital album and has composed original music for theatrical productions by The Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret (Vancouver) and Larrikin Entertainment (Whitehorse). She is also dedicated to mentoring emerging artists, such as co-writing songs with theatre duo Scantily Glad (S.E. Grummet and Sam Kruger), which were featured in their Edinburgh Comedy Award–nominated show this year.
Whether she’s performing in an intimate cabaret or a major international festival, Shirley Gnome delivers a fearless and unforgettable show singing truth to power, one laugh at a time.

An East Coast Blues legend returns…
Last show sold out. Don’t delay in grabbing you rix
For nearly 60 years Morgan Davis has been playing the blues, travelling across Canada, the U.S. and Europe. His performances draw from a lifelong study of the rich tradition of country blues, re-interpreting songs of the 1920s and 30s on electric instruments. His original compositions are infused with wit and a good dose of humour.

Originally from Detroit MI, Morgan Davis grew up listening to a rich variety of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and the emergence of the Motown sound. The music of Jimmy Reed, Ike and Tina Turner, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino was in the air, emanating from car radios and jukeboxes. In 1962 his family relocated to southern California, where Davis found the preponderance of surf music unappealing. He discovered Bob Dylan, whose music introduced him to Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Pete Seeger and Blind Lemon Jefferson. The psychedelic era ushered in bands like Jimi Hendrix and Cream, he attended concerts by the Doors, Grateful Dead, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Buffalo Springfield, Mothers of Invention and the Electric Flag. Davis began to play guitar at 16 years of age.

Graduating from high school in 1965, Davis enrolled in Long Beach State College, where he became active in the campus anti-war movement as well as SDS. Being of draft age and refusing his 2-S student deferment, he made the choice to remove himself from the U.S. war machine and move to Canada. He settled in Toronto, which he happily found to be a city on the circuit of the great Chicago blues bands, and a rich musical education began by watching Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Davis also had the opportunity to see and meet many great country blues players – John Hammond, Son House, Booker White, and Johnny Shines.

After a brief stint teaching junior high school, Davis began his musical career while residing at Rochdale College, Toronto’s high rise mecca for artists . Opportunities to jam with other players were frequent, and Davis happily immersed himself in music until he began to get the occaisional gig, and he soon found himself in a band called the Rhythm Rockets, which played a variety of vintage rock and roll, country and blues. He began touring, eventually forming his own blues band, the Knights of the Mystic Sea.
Over his five decade career Davis has opened the show for Willie Dixon, Albert King, John Hammond, John Lee Hooker and Albert Collins. He has jammed with Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Johnny Shines. He has backed up Sunnyland Slim, Snooky Pryor, Hubert Sumlin, Willie “Big Eyes” Smith and Dr. John.

Davis has released two 45 RPM records, two LPs, and nine CDs. His songwriting talent received wide recognition when Colin James covered his searing ballad, “Why’d You Lie?”
For the past 20 years he has made his home in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. Davis performs solo, playing traditional and original blues on electric guitars and his three string cigar-box guitar. Still a road-addicted touring musicianer, Davis averaged 200 days a year on the road…..until the sudden intrusion of the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.

…he hopes to be playing the blues until he drops.

It’s been 12 Years since Jeremy Fisher has performed at Bozzini’s and he’s back…finally in what will be an amazing night of music when his friend and ours, Ryan McMahon joins him for a great night of music
Jeremy Fisher

Jeremy Fisher is a 4-time JUNO-nominated folk-pop singer-songwriter based in Ottawa. He has released 6 studio albums and his music has been featured on radio, in film (The Big Year, Our Idiot Brother), commercials (Volkswagen, American Airlines), and as main title TV themes (Disney, Global). Over the last 20 years Jeremy has toured the world and shared the stage with artists such as Alanis Morissette, Blue Rodeo and Indigo Girls. His upbeat music with singable lyrics and heartfelt stories have earned him a dedicated fan base.
He is a co-creator, songwriter and voice actor for the CBC animated series Jeremy and Jazzy, a show about how feelings become songs, songs become stories, and music, friendship, and collaboration create joy.

Ryan McMahon
Legendary Canadian TV/Radio personality Terry David Mulligan may have summed up Ryan best:“The complete package. Singer. Songwriter. Performer. Troublemaker. Passionate human being. For me… priceless.”

Engaging and honest, Ryan McMahon’s music is written from the heart and sung from the soul. It is as rock as folk can get before it starts to roll. A blend of folk, americana and rock following the lead of his peers Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff & Warren Zevon. The singer songwriter has enough wit and charm to get through any situation and his songwriting fits every emotion into his live performance.

Born on the coast of British Columbia in a small seaside hamlet on Vancouver Island, Ryan’s first experiences performing were for family members laughing at his reiterations of comedians he loved. As he expelled versions of Eddie Murphy and Billy Connolly, McMahon fed off the energy from his audiences at such a young age and continued to dive into the music influences of his parents, which included a mix of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, The Everly Brothers and BB King. He picked up a guitar in high school and became known for playing the Battle of the Bands and sneaking into the clubs in nearby cities as an under-aged performer.

After graduating, he moved across the pond into the Vancouver scene to join a group of musicians exploring the music and nightlife of the bigger arena. He spent a decade playing small clubs, hosting open mics, writing, and recording. The songwriting and recording became his outlet for understanding the human experience and his ability to connect to audiences grew with each story he told. During his time in Vancouver, he penned the album, Weeks Months Years, produced by Mike Rogerson at Bakerstreet in North Vancouver.
The muse of life brought him back to Vancouver Island in 2008 and as a solo artist, McMahon won a record three Vancouver Island Music Awards for Album of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year in 2012 for his album ALL GOOD STORIES. After touring in support of the album, he joined forces with Cory Woodward and Christopher Arruda to create Lion Bear Fox: a folk-rock trio that showcased and toured Canada, the U.S. and in Europe until 2019. McMahon’s contributions to the band resulted in some of their most well-known songs, like “Shine,” “Freedom” and “Going, Going, Gone.”

Over the years, Ryan has opened for many iconic bands and artists from Buffy Ste. Marie and Nickelback to Canadian country artists Chad Brownlee, Brett Kissel, Dallas Smith and Aaron Pritchett. His talent, persona and musicality opened many doors to the range of genres encompassed in his songs. In 2019, as he returned from Tonder Festival in Denmark, the opportunity to play with and meet Canadian Country Music singer Aaron Pritchett marked the embarking on a new chapter in music.
Pritchett took Ryan under his wing and lit a new fire under McMahon’s feet as the pandemic settled into the hearts of people around the world. After a few attempts at telling the story, Ryan wrote “One More Fire” as a calling card for how his passion for music has been reignited.

“Of course, songs and art are subjective things, but to me ‘One More Fire’ represents that yearning to obtain connectivity to the human race around me,” says Ryan. “That feeling in my belly that I had when it was the night before battle of the bands in high school; or that notion that tomorrow I’m going into a new city to meet that community and make ’em sing, laugh, cry or dance or all of it all at the same time.”

Ryan admits that after years of scratching, clawing, winning, losing, and going through a pandemic that put the brakes on the entertainment industry, the fire to create and perform remains burning in his heart — and won’t be extinguished anytime soon.

Join Rocky Moran, Gillian Wale, and Fred Webber on the upright bass
At the beginning of 2020, Gillian and Rockland were preparing for their annual trip south, with our band “The Ranters” through the states of Washington, Oregon, California, and this year Louisiana.
Then fell the ides of March, and with it the global pandemic.
All bets were off! Being locked down, like the rest of the world and music industry, they took advantage of the downtime to write and record nine songs of a ten song album.
Taking inventory of the world around them, they wanted to bring the current events to attention in our music, as did the songwriters during the 1960’s.
Rant on, Children
In these recordings, The Ranters review subject matter of localized racism, destruction of environment, and increasing homelessness. Throughout these songs, there lies a thread of healthy contempt for religious authority, as well as a touch of humor and optimism.
“The Ranters” hope that you enjoy this musical offering of contemporary roots/blues titled “Rant on, Children”.

Blues Night

Blistering Slide, Killer HarpOur good friend Nigel Mack returns! Always a great show. Nigel gives it his all!

Chicago 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.
Mack’s original compositions have been featured on television sound-tracks ‘Dawson’s Creek’, ‘The Street’ and ‘Time of Your Life’.
Nigel 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.
Nigel 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.
The ‘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.
In 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.
In 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.
1996 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!
Nigel 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.
When 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
