Year: 2017

For ten years, Blue Thumb Records was one of music’s most adventurous and imaginative record labels.

Besides Vancouver, the ‘Easy Eye Sound Revue Tour’ will travel to cities including Brooklyn, Seattle, Austin, Nashville, Boston and more.

21st Annual Maple Blues Awards nominees have been announced and female blues artists are well represented this year in the instrumental categories.

The Players Club will focus on free-spirited guitar music and jams. As artist for their first album release, they’ve chosen none other than Tommy Emmanuel.

Beginning in January, Omnivore will roll out four various-artists volumes, collecting for the very first time anywhere the audio history of Ru-Jac Records.

“Well, I’ll tell you; sometimes life can throw you a curve. Take a swing. Who knows? You may hit a home run, but you got to stay in the game.”

Friends and fans alike are encouraged to be on hand and share in the excitement!

“I couldn’t be happier that I grew up in the time that I did, musically, because the music from the ‘40s on — it’s like taking off in a rocket.”

Aside from the remarkable music The Ghost of Paul Revere present us with on ‘Monarch,’ these songs are the portrait of a journey of self-discovery.
