New Smoke Wagon Blues Band CD: Live in Hamilton

Stonewalls must've been a very hoppin' place when the Smoke Wagon Blues Band took the stage in May of 2013.  The boys recorded the stunning show for their latest CD: Live in Hamilton and the fun just shines through.

Filled with spectacular performances of their best songs (Barton Street Blues, I Can't Change, Fine Furred Mama, Wrong Side Girl plus many more) and fabulous covers (Ain't No Sunshine, Feelin' Alright, Muddy Water's Blow Wind Blow) the disc is a great example of what this top notch band can dish out live.

You can pick up a copy of this CD at their explosive live shows (so in a way, you'll get a chance to experience two great live performances!).  It's also availble through the band's website and will be available through iTunes and other digital stores soon.

New Mike Almas CD: i Can't Stop

Local Bluesman Mike Almas' latest CD, I Can't Stop is now available for fans of quality no-frills blues rock.

This disc will have you swingin', dancin', and boogyin' like there's no tomorrow. There's a definite good time vibe here on tunes like Blue to the Bone, Lookin 4 Love, Devil's Gate and the instrumental Swamp Stomp. A few quieter soulful moments are also on tap (Why, My Father's Horn)

Mike's skillful guitar playing is showcased throughout the recording as is the incredible work of legendary drummer Jack Pedler (Teenage Head) and talented basist Neil Nickafor.

CDs can be purchased at Mike's shows and at Picks and Sticks on Locke.

Below are two recent live performances of songs from the CD featuring 905 Band members Sonnie Bernardi (drums) and Dave Johns (bass) at Stonewalls on July 10, 2010. Click here for more videos from this show. Click here if you can't see the videos.
