JW Jones had promised the Battlefords a high-energy live show, full of twists and turns.
鈥淚 guarantee we鈥檒l do things you鈥檝e never seen a band do before,鈥� he said in the run up to an appearance at the Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts in North Battleford.
The Canadian blues guitar slinger/singer was true to his word. He and his touring band, Jamie Holmes on drums and Laura Greenberg on bass, not only provided outstanding musicianship, but the twists and turns promised 鈥� changing instruments without so much as a hiccup, a double drum solo (duet?) and three on one guitar were just some of the highlights.
JW-Jones is touring in support of their 2015 JUNO and Maple Blues Award nominated CD, Belmont Boulevard, recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge. Their show in North Battleford earned a true standing ovation (not just the polite kind) and encore.
In addition to being one of Canada's hottest blues guitarists, Jones is a recipient of the prestigious Forty Under 40 Award by Ottawa Business Journal and Chamber of聽Commerce for balancing music, business and community involvement.
