Blues on the Rideau Presents – Fathead

FatheadThe great Toronto band – 2X Juno Award and multiple Maple Blues Award winners – FATHEAD www.fathead.biz returned to BOTR @ The Cove last Friday – the 4th visit since the Series started – and once again showed why they are one of the crowd favourites.  This time around they were missing their fabulous lead singer JOHN MAYS who unfortunately is going through some tough medical issues right now but the lovely and talented MISS ROBIN BANK$ stepped in as a Special Guest and did a superb job. It was a full house and a happy one – the dance floor remained packed all night (as always at BOTR @ The Cove) and both FATHEAD and ROBIN sold a bunch of their new CD’s – “Fatter Than Ever” and “Modern Classics”.
The Cove’s sumptuous buffet included roasted pork loin with applesauce, a spicy pineapple chicken, butternut squash ravioli, roasted potatoes, mixed veggies and salads. And the chocolate torte square w. raspberry sauce dessert was to die for!
Westport Food Bank$600 was raised – plus some food and additional cash donations – for the WESTPORT FOOD BANK. The audience also stepped up big time with $300 in contributions to the HELP JOHN MAYS OUT Fund with everyone sending their love and best wishes to John for a full and speedy recovery. (If you want to help John out during this tough time you can do so on the FATHEAD websitewww.fathead.biz)

Harpdog Brown Review

Harpdog BrownWho let the Dog out?

Vancouver’s HARPDOG BROWN was on the loose at BOTR @ The Cove Inn, Westport Friday night and the crowd loved it – eating up his “take no prisoners” harmonica playing, deep Bluesy voice, great selection of songs (most of them original) and entertaining showmanship. Now I know what western Canadian and Pacific Northwest Blues fans have been talking about for years! Harpdog has the kind of feel for the Blues that only comes with experience and he’s got a ton of it. His young guitarist from Victoria – Jordan Edmonds – accompanied him beautifully all night long – not showy just tight and good. And of course Downchild members Gary Kendall on bass and Mike Fitzpatrick on drums provided a rock solid backline. The Cove buffet was delicious as usual, the dance floor stayed packed all night and $560 was raised for the WESPORT LIBRARY. All in all – a wonderful evening. What a terrific way to kick off the new season!

Harpdog Brown Blues BandCommend Cards:

“Great relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, good music. Keepin’ the Blues alive!” 9’s and 10’s out of 10 for venue, food, service, band and sound.
Laura Reeves, Smiths Falls ON (regular attendee)

“Great show! Harpdog makes that harp talk!”
Daphne Buckley, Portland ON (regular attendee)

“A perfect 10 out of 10 plus bonus points for building such a warm, groovy community here! Watch for our full review of this night in the November issue”
Kris & Rob Riendeau, The Humm Arts & Entertainment newspaper, Almonte ON www.thehumm.com

“The food & service was super! Harpdog Brown was extremely enjoyable. 10 out of 10 for everything”
Denise LaViolette, Kingston (first-timer)
