Artists

  • Lead Pipe Cinch ...
    Chuck Baker
    fractures folk, wrestles rock, brushes the blues and fights with funk. ...Just love his stuff and you will too.

    Bob Ardern ..

    .gone but not forgotten... visit the cyber-space of the not-really-Homeless One. The only person I've ever met who really does know where his towel is at all times. (Ah the effort required to not dangle participles) hee hee. and soul survivor of the Total Perspective Vortex. yes that's on purpose

    • DON'T PANIC! ...
    • Although the band no longer exists (in this or any reality) it was fun while it lasted. Once Canada's only admitted Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy tribute band, they seem to have survived the Infinite Reality Vortex and emerged as a couple of crazy but still devoted musicians
    Steve Porter
    ... back from pilgrimage and glowing from inside with a joy that leaves me in awe, Steve has released a new cd. After a long hiatus it's great to be able to hear his songs again.

    Bruce County Blues:

    This crew out on the Bruce Penninsula has a great vision that includes uniting the blues community in Bruce County; expanding awareness of the blues, its history, its present and its future; exposing youth, and those who educate our youth, to the blues art form through Blues In Schools programs; supporting blues artists in Canada and internationally by producing blues events; creating an exciting social setting for blues lovers to meet and, in doing so, raise money for deserving charities. Sounds worth supporting to me!
