Brian Blain has been called an"elder blues statesman" and is this year's recipient of the lifetime achievement "Blues Booster" Maple Blues Award from the Toronto Blues Society. He's been a sideman, frontman, producer, publisher, blogger and has played with top blues players in Canada at his popular "Campfire Jam", and backed blues legends like Kathi MacDonald, Long John Baldry and Hubert Sumlin.
Brian Blain, born in rural Quebec and active in the music scene for forty years, possesses a “northern” style that gives him a cool edge that just can’t be found in any other artist. His easy blend of folk and blues is a running commentary on life as he sees it.  Since arriving in Toronto in 1990, Brian Blain has been a quiet, enduring presence in Canadian roots music. He has worked in just about every aspect of the music business on stage and behind the scenes as a recording artist, sideman, producer, manager, music writer/editor, publisher, director and tireless promoter of Canadian blues artists.  Ever since his 1973 recording, "The Story of the Magic Pick", Brian has been providing his wry commentary on the music scene. 
His 1999 complaint, "Blues is Hurting," was included on the Toronto Blues Society compilation "Toronto Blues Today." When no one was listening to the singer at a CD launch, he wrote "One More Weasel" at the back table in the Rivoli in Toronto (on a proverbial napkin). As Jeffrey Morgan wrote in the Detroit Times, “Now here’s something you don’t hear every day: a bluesman singin’ the blues about how lousy the blues singin’ business is these days.”
