Rogue Folk Celebrates our 35th Anniversary this Saturday! - https://mailchi.mp//rogue-folk-celebrates-our-35th-anniver

For over five decades TOM LAVIN & THE LEGENDARY POWDER BLUES have been at the forefront of the Canadian blues scene. Formed in Vancouver in 1978 the band became... renowned for its hard driving mix of swing, blues, r&b and shades of rock ‘n roll. The band pushed blues to the forefront with major airplay first on local rock radio and then across the nation coast to coast with hits such as ‘Doing It Right’, ‘Boppin’ With Blues’, ‘Hear That Guitar Ring’, ‘What’ve I Been Drinkin’, ‘Thirsty Ears’ and many more. The Powder Blues recorded their first album ‘Uncut’ in 1979 on Blue Wave Records. Because of rampant sales the album was re-released on RCA Records and went double platinum, selling well over 200,000 units. As momentum built, the band started touring not only around BC but into Alberta and beyond. In 1983, the band travelled to Europe and played the prestigious Montreux Jazz and North Sea Festivals. ‘Live at Montreux’ was released on disc and the following year ‘Powder Blues Live At Montreux’ aired on CBC TV. By 1985, five albums had been released not only in Canada but also in the USA, England, Australia and New Zealand. In 1986 the band scooped a coveted WC Handy Award in Memphis for ‘Best Foreign Band’. Tours of the Soviet Union and constant touring in North America kept the band extremely busy well into the 90s. It’s still appearing regularly, and this is their first hometown appearance in a couple of years. Opening the evening will be HARRIS&DEBRAY, a well-known roots and blues duo. As a four piece they are known as Lesismore. Coop Radio is celebrating its 47th anniversary this month and we are most happy to do that with Powder Blues who are celebrating their 44th Anniversary Grab a ticket at tinyurl.com/yc3fm3k7 and join us at The Rio on May 15th for ‘Doing It Right On The Wrong Side Of Town!
