Juno Nominee 2012 - Blue Album of the Year
Where’s the band from, and when did it start? Ottawa, Ontario. And it began on a casual basis to play some Sunday gigs, back in the spring of 2008. Who’s in the band? Steve Marriner (vocals, harmonica, keyboards, guitar), Tony D (lead guitar) and Matt Sobb (drums). How do you describe your music? Swamp R&B. Soul boogie. Deep blues. Oh yes, and bedroom funk. Dark sometimes, rockin’ at others. So what’s the band’s history? All three of us started out as players on the Ottawa blues scene. It started out informally between Tony and Steve. Then Matt got told he was in the band, whether he knew it or not. Between us, we’ve got almost 60 years of combined experience. How did the breakthrough happen? Six months after we started, we were nominated for a Maple Blues Award for best new artist. Then, in February 2009, we represented Ottawa at the International Blues Challenge. So, d’you want to talk about your new record? Well, of course. It’s on Stony Plain, which is a Canadian label with real clout internationally — people will be able to get it in the U.S., Australia, Japan and just about everywhere else.
