The Hamilton Blues Lovers Turns 8 Years Old Today!

A word from Lou, our blogger:

It's been eight years since I first posted an ad online about a new organisation called the Hamilton Blues Lovers. Originally only a social group, it later evolved into a web and social media presence (Blog, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, weekly e-mail newsletter and more).

This year has been wonderful.  There was the usual incredible local music. Not only did we add a new Instagram page but our mascot Trebleclef got his own Facebook page too!

I'm looking forward to many more years of covering our amazing local music scene!

Before I go, I'd like to say a special thank you to my wife Linda for all of her support.  I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!

Previous (New Famous Framus Album) - - - Next (Hamilton Blues Lovers Turns 8)

A Beautiful, Raw Masterpiece from Hamilton's Famous Framus!

Learn to Live, the newest release from Hamilton's Famous Framus, shows a wonderous musical evolution.  Framus takes his trademark, punk-like speed and growl and dials it down to create a beautiful, raw masterpiece.

The sound still has an edge to it, as always. By letting the songs breathe though, he lets the emotion of his vocals shine and allows the banjos/guitars to resonate and stick with you. Framus has also kept his knack for amazing lyrics.

If you want a copy, you can pick one up at his live shows or by contacting him directly.  The album should be up on iTunes soon as well.  You'll be glad you did.

Hamilton's Trickbag Show Off Their Impressive Chops on New Live Album!

There's nothing quite like a Trickbag show: amazing music, a fun atmosphere and tons of fabulous songs. The veteran Hamilton band have unleashed North End Ramble, a new live album that shows off their impressive musical chops. It's the next best thing to seeing them in person!

Recorded at This Ain't Hollywood, this is also their first recording to feature two new additions: Steve Beach on vocals and keys plus Rick Miles on bass (actualy, he's the band's original bassist returning after a long hiatus). Both mesh extremely well with the other members.

The reinvigorated group charge through explosive covers of the Band, Irma Thomas, Keb Mo', The Staple Singers, the legendary Hamiltonion King Biscuit Boy and more. Another interesting feature is an amazing, original instrumental number, Walk the Talk.

So if you need some musical oomph in your life, pick up the CD at their incredible live show or get it at Urban Hamilton  Artists and other locations across Hamilton.

Newest Mark Crissinger Album Filled with Hamilton's Everyman Soul!

Hamilton's everyman soul has seeped into Night Light, the newest offering from BC Bluesman
Mark Crissinger.  Partly-recorded in Hammertown by Carl Jennings (Freedom Train) at Westmoreland Studio, the non-nonsense, meat and potatoes feel of the city is all over the album,

Mark and the gang have thrown in all types of Blues stylings: country, boogie woogie, soulful, rockin' and more to keep things very interesting. With down-to-earth, slice-of-life lyrics and well crafted songs, the album's of the highest calibre.

This is due to Mark's amazing vocal/guitar skills and his choice of a fabulous backing band; Bill Hicks of Powder Blues (drums), Jay Stevens (bass), Dan Dube of Renovation Blues Band (keys) and Marty Howe of The Martys (harmonica). Special guests on the project include Steve Hill (guitar), Pat Rush (slide guitar) , Jerome Godboo (harmonica) and Jeff Heisholt (organ).
