As part of the Toronto area Johnny Max Band, Hamilton's own Jesse O'Brien added his usual flair to their newest CD, It's a Long Road.
As a result of the great job Johnny, Jesse and the gang did, the disc was nominated for both a 2011 Juno and Indie award. The lead off track, Daddy's Little Girl (co-written by Jesse) won the International Songwriting Competition (blues category).
All these accolades are well deserved as It's a Long Road is an incredible release. The band show great versatility - handling blues, funk, rock, R&B, soul and rock with tremendous talent. One song, they get you grooving and the next they have you basking in a slow number.
The CD is available at their live shows and as a download on iTunes.
Below is the promo video for the album.
These next videos are live performances of the songs from the CD at a recent Royal Botanical Gardens event. We'll be posting more footage from this show later.
