Saturday March 17, 2012 BCB’s 6th Anniversary with Anthony Gomes, Bruce Steakhouse, 8:00 pm
We’re mixing some good old boy
Nashville blues with some St. Paddy’s Day Irish green!
Anthony Gomes
will bring his high
energy, guitar-driven blues rock mixed with soul-injected melodic
moments. A favourite at major festivals across North America and
Europe, this is an unique opportunity to see him in the intimate
setting of the Bruce Steakhouse. Adding to the excitement of the
night of course is that not only is this St. Patrick’s Day
but it will also mark our 6th Anniversary
as a blues society!
Tickets available

Sunday April 15, 2012 Garrett Mason with Keith Hallett, Bruce Steakhouse, 4:00 pm
The Lighthouse Blues Festival
has a pre-festival event
that will bring Juno Award winning
Garrett Mason
and Keith Hallett,
two of the east coast’s premier blues guitarists back to this area for a
special Sunday afternoon matinee performance at The Bruce Steakhouse.
What do you get when you combine two of the East Coast’s most talented
young bluesmen? You get the brilliant double bill featuring Juno-winner
Garrett Mason and next gen guitar slinger Keith Hallett. Mason has
received much acclaim for his solo albums. His debut I’m Just a Man won
a Juno for Best Blues Album, and the follow up, 2008’s Love and
Sound earned him another Juno nomination and a Music Nova Scotia Award
for blues recording of the year. He has also been nominated for Maple
Blues Awards every year since 2004, most recently winning Guitar
Player of the Year last year. Halifax’s blues wonder Keith Hallett’s
natural prowess in the genre shines through with his howlin’, growlin’
and soulful vocals, and the impressive guitar licks and slides that have
made Keith a household name in the East Coast blues community. Keith won
the 2007 Harvest CBC Galaxie Rising Star Award, and was nominated
for Maple Blues Award for new artist of the year at only 17 years
old. His 2008 debut album Bear With Me was heralded as “head and
shoulders above at least half the blues discs that have come out this
year by older veterans,” and he has begun work on his sophomore album,
produced by and featuring Mason. The two phenomenal guitar players have
now joined forces for a fresh take on the blues they both know so well,
with a few unexpected twists. |
