Monkey Junk
Wednesdays Blues
Spring 2008: Steve Marriner (guitar, vocals, harmonica), Tony D. (guitar, vocals) and Matt Sobb (drums) merge their talents to form MonkeyJunk-the name taken from a line by legendary bluesman Eddie James "Son" House, a pioneer in the genre. Six months later, the group collects a nomination from the Maple Blues Awards (with six more this year!). Next come Tiger in Your Tank, a debut album presented onstage during the 30th edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. Rockers almost as much as bluesmen, these three outstanding musicians have since piled on the live gigs, representing the country at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. L'Astral, get ready for revving guitars, blazing vocals and a dead-on groove.
