Jerome Godbout:
Blues Harp (Harmonica), Singer - Blues Toronto, Canada.
Jerome has been a full-time musician since 1986, when he won an Ottawa Bluesfest contest that helped launched his career and triggered a move to Toronto. That was the start of the Phantoms and an inspiring time that took the explosive rock band to sell-out status in the city's top clubs from the Horseshoe to Lee's Palace to the Phoenix (then the Diamond). And even when the Phantoms reluctantly called it quits, Jerome never did.
He's headlined at the Montreal Jazz Festival (2005), played Toronto's Air Canada Centre with Ronnie Hawkins, opened for the Yardbirds and performed on stages across Canada, the U.S., France, Finland, Portugal, Ukraine, Israel and beyond. He's played with Prince, Pinetop Perkins, James Cotton, the Tragically Hip, Levon Helm, Billy Ray Cyrus and many more, and recorded and toured with the likes of Alannah Myles, Dutch Mason, Jeff Healey, Jimmy Bowskill and Suzie McNeil.
An accomplished and exceptional bluesman, his bending harp skills have been sought by everyone from Ronnie Hawkins to the late Jeff Healey and he continues to mesmerize all who witness him onstage including the judges at the International blues Challenge 2014 held in Memphis where Jerome took home the Lee Oskar best harmonica Player award. The one-time local legend of explosive 90s rock band the Phantoms, Jerome has released 14 albums in his 25-plus year career, 11 of which are solo.Jerome, who wears his trademark toolbelt with a harmonica in every key, stepped up his game even further on the instrument. He purchased an innovative 30-reed harmonica, invented by UK-based harmonica master Brendan Power.

Mark Olbrich Blues Eternity - Blues Everywhere

Mark Olbrich is a veteran Anglo/Polish blues bass player with an impressive CV both that spreads right across eastern Europe to the States. Both the material and band is built round Olbrich’s rock solid and lilting bass lines and Eddie Angel’s expressive vocals and concise guitar work. Angel further teases out the emotion of a song through intense solos and tonal variation. And while this isn’t quite a band album as such, Olbrich has built his studio project round the core players of drummer Allesandro Cinelli – with a special mention for the great shuffle drummer Maurice McElroy who contributes an essential part of the boogie arrangement of ‘Hey Hey Mississippi’ – Eddie Angel and keyboard player Igor Nowicki.There’s also further contributions from Olbrich’s long time harp player and former Yardbird Laurence Garman who brings versatility and tone to his tracks. It all makes for a 7 track mini album full of deep grooves, boogie and of course the blues. As Mark explains in his liner notes, the album title is a reference to the many places he has ploughed his trade in as a blues bass playing band leader and booker, and more specifically how the blues has impacted on him emotionally and given him a context for the songs. The opening ‘Volcano’ is a very good example of how the Angel/Olbrich song writing partnership draws on personal experience to pen some contemporary blues. The song is about being delayed by volcanic ash in the middle of a tour, as a Texas style groove soon gives way to Eddie’s first solo on a seamless arrangement. ‘Hey Hey Mississippi’ is a harp led boogie that is reminiscent of the Bob Hite led Canned Heat. It has a relentless swagger that gives the song its impetus. They say that you should always judge a blues band’s credentials on a slow blues and Blues Eternity triumph with ‘Texas Can Wait’. It’s a narrative driven song that evokes a timeless, perhaps imagined journey through the Southern States. Garman adds country blues harp alongside Nowieki’s nuanced piano fills and McElroy’s brushed stroked rhythm. The 7 track album focuses on feel through some intricate band interplay that refreshingly always serves the song. In that respect ‘Texas Can Wait’ lives and breathes the wide open spaces that the lyrics evoke. Angel adds a clean toned and restrained solo which is the perfect foil for Garman’s harp. In sharp contrast, Angel’s close-to-the-mic phrasing on the heavy riff driven ‘Testify’ is a tough muscular outing with a thudding back beat. Angel’s angular guitar tone adds another sonic layer to a stretched out cut that will surely become a live favourite. It’s a good example of the way the band fuses the past with the present. The riff driven dual guitar theme could be the Allman’s, while the lyrics are cool word plays through which Angel emotes the blues. ‘Blues Everywhere’ musically mirrors the album title. It’s routed in deep blues traditions, but the music is contemporized on the band’s own terms with strong material and a fine performance. The evolving studio line-up somehow manages to stay true to core band imprint by adhering to the arrangements, while adding just enough feel to emphasise the bluesy aspects that glue the whole album together. There’s also a significant stylistic change on ‘Big Easy’, as Angel adopts a Johnny Cash baritone style of phrasing over John Eacott’s muted trumpet, on a song with a wide screen, spaghetti western flavour. And while the earlier ‘Testify’ makes a riff driven impact – think Martin Barre’s jagged guitar lines in Jethro Tull –  ’Hammers’ incorporates a whammy bar intro that ushers us into a lilting funky feel, over a Hammond back drop. The dirgy feel would surely make the late Jack Bruce smile – you could image Bruce singing this – but Angel adds his own rap style of phrasing to deliver the song’s meaning. ‘Hammers’ is arguably the most ambitious track on the album, as it searches for spark through an unusual descending chord structure, before resolving the tension with a fiery, intense and big toned Eddie Angel guitar solo. His vocal on the hook could almost be Paul Rogers, suggesting that when called on he has more to deliver.The closing ‘Toruń’ -  an ode to the North Polish city known for its Gingerbread - is an up tempo rocker on which features Eddie in his element on both vocals and guitar, while the Olbrich/Cinelli combination nails the bottom end. And there it is. ‘Blues Everwhere’ is a short, sharp and focussed celebration of contemporary blues. Moreover, Mark Olbrich’s Blues Eternity is a great barometer of the standard of blues on both sides of the Atlantic. They rock, they boogie, they get deep into the blues and they groove effortlessly on an album of original material that makes a significant impact ~  Review by Pete Feenstra

Matti Oiling was best known as the leader of the Oiling Boiling Rhythm 'n Blues Band. They backed a whole list of vocalists including Blues Mama, Brown Sugar Dixon and Caron Barnes, as well as top Finns Pepe Ahlqvist and Eero Raittinen. In addition to club concerts, the group often performed in churches.The highlight of Oiling's recording career was "Hip-Hop-Boogaloo-Blues" (2001), an album canned with Blues Mama Brown Sugar Dixon. It was the first-ever Scandinavian rhythm 'n blues album to reach the Gold Disc limit (a minimum of 20,000 units sold).A young Matti Oiling started his professional career with Onni Gideon, another Finnish legend, who was - strangely enough - the leader in Hawaiian-influenced music in Finland. A little later Oiling joined a Beatles-inspired pop group Jormas.
"Let the good times roll" was the name of the game soon after. Oiling recorded a landmark LP "Happy Jazz Band" with his own ensemble in 1970 -- a career in rhythm 'n blues had started. The beloved Oiling Boiling Rhythm 'n Blues Band toured extensively both home and abroad, earning nicknames like "Finland's R 'n B National Team" and "University of Rhythm". Mr Oiling himself, in the spirit of the Dukes and the Counts, was often called "The Emperor". Gene Krupa and Earl Palmer were among Matti Oiling's biggest influences. Palmer was also a good personal friend of his.
"There have been drummers before us, and there will be after us. We are just a link in a long chain of drummers", Matti Oiling used to teach his fellow drummers and drummers-to-be.

In 2018, singer/saxophonist Leroy Ellington assembled a group of music veterans near Cincinnati, in southwestern Ohio, under the name Leroy Ellington’s Sacred Hearts. Alongside Ellington, the group includes Mike Grosser (bass), Marcos Sastre (guitar, vocals), Max Gise (guitar), Charlie Fletche (keyboards, vocals), and Rick “Bam” Powell (drums, vocals). Ellington has been involved in music for three decades. He began his career in the 1980s playing with Ritchie & The Students (a doo-wop band with several hit singles in the late 1950s), led by frontman Richard Johnson. Their biggest hit was "I'm So Young," covered by The Beach Boys and featured on the soundtrack of the film "Cry Baby." In the 1990s, Leroy joined Stacy Mitchhart's band, Stacy! & Blues-U-Can-Use, as a saxophonist. With him, he recorded "Blues Transfusion" in 1993, for which Ellington wrote several songs. In 1994, Leroy Ellington started his own band, Leroy Ellington & The E-Funk Band. This band was an important part of the Cincinnati music scene for over twenty years.In 2012, Ellington started The Leroy Ellington Band (as a side project). They were second at the 2012 Cincinnati BC and second at the 2013 Dayton BC. In 2016, they released the EP "Blue Eyed Blues," an album that was named "Best Self-Produced CD" by the Cincinnati Blues Society in 2016. In May 2015, Ellington was a guest vocalist with the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, which paid tribute to the music of Chicago & Blood, Sweat & Tears. Ellington sang songs by the legendary Canadian BS&T singer, guitarist, and pianist (now 78!) David Clatyon Thomas. In early 2018, Leroy Ellington began his latest recording project, Leroy Ellington’s Sacred Hearts. "Sanctified" was his 2019 debut album. It's more than just a blues album, and the song selection draws on Ellington's career.

The contemporary blues environment combines a traditional manner of storytellin' with up-to-date elements that ring true at first listen. David Jacobs-Strain delivers his message with convincing authority. Surrounded by a band that features blues harp and fiddle, exotic percussion and fiery keyboards, the singer/guitarist brings it home. His slide guitar work stands out as one of the best.Jacobs-Strain has been playing guitar since age nine. But that was only twelve years ago. At 21, he's in his third year at Stanford University. The bluesman's originals dig into today's societal standing. He deals with issues common to all of us. Like folk artists in the '60s, he knows what's on our minds and sings about it. Our fears and our heartaches are laid bare. It's comforting. An emotional singer, Jacobs-Strain communicates easily. Like the boy next door, he tells it like it is. The session lets his voice take center stage. Blind Willie Johnson's "Soul of a Man" allows for a return to the roots of blues storytellin', with the acoustic sounds of washtub drum, soulful harmonica, clinking chains, and earthy background vocals. Jacobs-Strain's slide guitar tells the story as well as his vocal picture does, however, as he relates with bottleneck efficiency. He follows that soulful piece up with an instrumental "Yelapa Breakdown" that takes his audience off on a different adventure. Through his music, this young singer/guitarist has seen the world from many angles. His recommended blues album speaks well for his generation and ours.

Hailing from Boston, Bees Deluxe have toured up and down the East Coast to present the sounds from their imagination. Recorded in a studio “hidden in the forests of Massachusetts,” the band took a year to produce a dozen new songs in response to demands from their listeners. Mixing Chicago blues and a heavy dose of psychedelic rock, the album is certainly eclectic and different.
The Bees Deluxe liken their music to a genre called acid blues, a bluesy version of acid rock. The All Music Guide writes, “Acid Rock was the heaviest, loudest variation of psychedelic rock. Drawing from the overblown blues improvisations of Cream and Jimi Hendrix, acid rock bands relied on distorted guitars, trippy lyrics, and long jams. Acid rock didn’t last too long — it evolved and imploded within the life span of psychedelia — and the bands that didn’t break up became heavy metal bands.” That pretty much sums up the sound and feel of this album.
The band is Carol Band on keys, vocals and harp, Allyn Door on bass and vocals, Joe Egan on keys and manuscripts, James Gildea in bass and vocals, Paul Giovine on drums and percussion, Adam Sandowski on bass, and Conrad Warre on guitar, bass, vocals, trumpet, kaossilator, strings and keys. A couple of other musicians are noted where they appear.
“Sharkskin Suit” starts us off. It’s a little bouncy and has a 1970’s vibe to it. Jared Egan adds his guitar to the mix which gives the song depth. “When Is Yesterday” is a trippy, slow cut with somber vocals and guitar work. We get a little distorted harp thrown in late in the piece. “Another Close Shave” follows, a thoughtful cut that makes me feel like I’m perhaps listening to Dire Straights on hallucinogenic drugs.
“Scared” takes us on a journey that evokes a mix of Pink Floyd and LSD. Band takes us on a journey of depression and fear as he sings and Warre plays some ethereal, trippy guitar. Up next is “Queen Midas” which takes us with acoustic guitar added to the mix. Warre also adds some cool cupped trumpet along with nice electric guitar and a cool organ line, too. “How To Play 96 Tears” follows with some elegant piano in this cool instrumental number. Replacing the Farfisa with a piano and taking us in new directions, it’s a slick cut.
“Nitro” is next and features Poogie Bell on drums. More breathy vocals and a jazzy approach with horns and guitar setting a nice tone in this explosive tune. “Call Me Frank” is next, a dreamy guitar piece that gets a harp added that finally introduces the vocals. The harp returns for some extended, dreamy sounding stuff. “Men & Women” is next, more dissonant stuff that ambles along to a slow to mid-tempo groove and ethereal guitar.
“Gary Burton’s ex-Guitar Player Stole My High School Girl” follows, a heady instrumental fronted by acoustic guitar and an overall heady feeling. “Houdini” changes things up with breathy vocals and a nice electric guitar lead. The album concludes with “What’s Wrong With Me?” This one’s a song that the vocals search for what is wrong with the vocalist. Striving to find himself after likening to being hit by a falling tree, we get another heady cut with interesting guitar lead and soloing.
This album is not something to sit down to listen and chill with. The album presents wild, imaginative themes and images that take the listener on a sometimes disturbing and always interestin/

The Klass Band Brotherhood has always enjoyed the sounds and the feel of soul and funk. With a heavy influence from the MN scene the band prides themselves on an exciting stage show. With the new surge of Southern Soul music, group leader Nelson Curry thought their concept and style would be a perfect fit in that music scene.
The group members Include Nelson Curry, Wayne Bowman, Curtis Knight, Allen Curry and Derrick Thomas.
Curry decided to start his own label Neo Blues Music giving his group a home to write and produce their own music.
According to Curry we are defined as the bad boys of blues because we intend to shake a few things up and have a good time. Bowman states we call our style of Southern Soul fish and grits music or Guvment drinking music.
The name change from Le Klass was our wanting to remember all the members we use to have and the brotherhood we all shared in this journey of music. Southern Soul playlists began showing "Sugaa Shack" and the song steadily became one of the most popular songs of the year. "Out of the Shadows Of Soul" the first LP followed.

This recording is a piece of history. Recorded live in March 1982 at the historic White Eagle in Portland, Oregon, the Pete Karnes Blues Band with guitarist Tom McFarland was as close to a house band for the White Eagle as it got, and this was a great night! You can hear the enthusiastic crowd, and can feel the vibe of a great band in this historic club. Little did anyone in the band realize that the recording made on a cassette recorder sitting on top of a Leslie speaker would resurface after 32 years! Two of the band members from that night have passed on: Tom McFarland and Nick Christmas, may they rest in peace. The remaining members are still playing! Pete Karnes is keeping the blues alive in Florida with his current band. Northwest favorites also heard on this recording are alive and well and playing with many other musical projects: Richard Englund on bass, Doug Smith on sax, and Michael Mendenhall on keyboards. Blues Hall of Fame harmonica master Pete Karnes played with many of the Legends, Big Walter Horton, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Robert Lockwood, J.B. Hutto, Lightning Slim - you can hear the authenticity in his voice and playing. Pete Karnes is a blues harp master, committed to Chicago Blues. Born in Pigget, Arkansas, Pete grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a teenager he moved to Detroit with his family for his dad to work in the growing automobile industry, where he would be exposed to all the great blues harmonica players from Chicago. You can hear Pete's tribute to many of these masters on the CD in the song, "Jimmy Reed Medley". During the 70s and early 80s, Pete fronted the Pete Karnes Blues Band in Portland, Oregon. In the mid-eighties, he ended his music career to devote himself to the family. In the late nineties he became seriously ill, but since 2006 has been active again, playing the blues like never before! This CD will transport the listener back to those heady days when the White Eagle was Portland's premier blues venue. The great atmosphere and late night excitement created by the Pete Karnes Blues Band at the White Eagle on this March night in 1982 comes across loud and clear when you listen to this CD. Enjoy the great music, and wonderful history, that this CD offers! Pick up Pete's other CD, "I'm Still Here", as well to round out an excellent collection of blues from one of the real blues harmonica masters, Pete Karnes. "Live at the White Eagle 1982" was originally recorded in March 1982 on a stereo cassette recorder. The cassette was digitized and mixed by Michael Mendenhall at Ba Gua Studio. CD was mastered by Don Ross at Don Ross Productions.
