Hey, boys and girls.
This Saturday, Jan. 6, we welcome back bluesman Chuck Jackson (www.chuckjackson.com) .
Chuck Jackson began his singing career applying his versatile voice to a wide range of musical styles. However, it was when he joined the Cameo Blues Band in 1978 that he really began to shape the distinctive rhythm and blues style that he has injected into many projects. Armed with a hot blues harmonica, Chuck was a "hired gun" on soundtracks of the internationally acclaimed Canadian TV production of "Night Heat" and on the '80s' biggest hit, "Miami Vice".
Chuck served his apprenticeships with Bo Diddley, James Cotton, British R&B star Georgie Fame, as well as jam sessions with "The Blues Brothers"; John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd. An avid sports fan, Chuck was able to combine that love with his musical passion when, as a member of the all-star
Labatt's Double Blues Band, he performed at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. In 1990, Chuck became the front man of the legendary Downchild Blues Band appearing on JUNO-nominated albums Good Times Guaranteed, Come On In and on Lucky 13. Four-time nominee and winner of the Maple Blues Award's "Male Vocalist of the Year in 2000". In 2002 Chuck was honored by the Toronto Blues Society with the prestigious "Blues With A Feeling" Award for his contribution to Canadian Blues.
Joining Chuck, the blazin' hot, our almost regular guitar slinger, Mr. Steve Grisbrook is going to blow us away one more time (www.stevegrisbrook.com) .
