Reviewers have described this Maple Blues Award-winning band as stripped-down, hellaciously rockin’ new blues with the distinctive voice and guitar-work of Murray Kinsley, and a rhythm section that swings with funky precision featuring Laura Greenberg on bass and Dave Tettmar on drums. Based in Ottawa, Canada, the band has delivered it’s innovative, original blues to venues and festivals across Canada, the US, England and Germany with great success and accolades.
Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin won the Maple Blues Award for New Artist/Group of the Year in 2014 while Laura Greenberg is a two time Maple Blues Awards Bassist of the Year. The act was a semi-finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, January 2019.
Set for release on January 25th, 2025, Eye Of The Storm is the band’s fifth recording. On Eye Of The Storm, Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin deliver five originals written by Kinsley, and a gritty swampy cigar box cover of Ray Wylie Hubbard’s classic “Snake Farm”. “Dance With Me” is a rockin’ blues song about the healing power of music, while “Dressed In Black” is a heavy cigar box boogie blues about love and the inequality between women and men.“Hold On” is funky horn heavy-blues talking about the erosion of women’s rights. “Friday Blues” is a funky Chicago-style blues love song. The E.P. closes with “Blues For Sorrow”, an acoustic blues song about the innocent victims of war and strife.
