The Mighty Duck Blues Band's Explosive Debut is a Blues Smorgasbord

The power and fury of St. Catharines's Mighty Duck Blues Band has finally been captured on disc! Duck Soup, their explosive debut distills the group's over a decade of experience into an amazing, versatile exploration of the Blues. Here, you'll find hard driving rockin' tunes, sultry 'n' smooth numbers, funky beats, kickin' instrumentals and even a fabulous bluesy version of Queen's We Will Rock You.  It's a veritable Blues smorgasbord.

For those of you who haven't experienced the wonders of the MDBB: they play a smokin' matinee every Saturday at the Bar Upstairs in St. Catharines and are joined by wonderful guests every week. The band itself is made up of seasoned veterans:

• Dave Curry (guitars/vocals)
• “Canada” Dave Torosian (organ)
• Gary Kendall (also of the Downchild Blues Band) on bass /vocals)
• Jim Casson (percussion/vocals/producer/arranger).

Like their matinees, this CD is packed with unbelievable guest stars:

• John Dickie (Crowbar) – Vocal on Hammered and Nailed
• Cheryl Lescom – Vocal on Don’t Send Me No Valentine, Backing Vocals
• John Finley – Vocal on Yes Indeed
• Chuck Jackson (Downchild) – Vocal on 3 AM Blues and Cha-Ching
• Paul Reddick – Vocal on Hurricane, Harmonica on We Will Rock You
• Lance Anderson – Piano and Fender Rhodes
• Jim Gay – Tenor and Baritone Saxophone
• Bill Melymuka - Trumpet
• Max Casson - Backing Vocals
