2

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, harmonicist and music educator Bill Johnson was born in Halifax, spent a few years in Ottawa and Calgary and now lives in Victoria B.C.. He grew up listening to his older brother’s record collection of Blues, Rock and Country artists and lists Hank Willilams, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry as his major influences. Bill spent most of his teens studying guitar and played in a variety of different bands through the ’70’s and ’80’s but by the early ’90’s he began to focus exclusively on the Blues. He’s released four albums since then including his new one – “Cold Outside”. Over the years Bill has won a Blewzy Award and been nominated for a Juno and 4 Maple Blues Awards. Tune in to find out why!

CANADIAN BLUES SPOTLIGHT w. James Doran
on Mark Stenzler’s BLUES ZEPPELIN, Bern Switzerland
www.facebook.com/BluesZeppelin

Nov 22 – 9-11 am EDT (3-5 pm Swiss time)

This week’s featured artist – JEROME GODBOO www.jeromegodboo.com

Jerome was born in Victoria BC. He fell in love with the Blues and learned harmonica then moved east and launched his career in Toronto in the mid 1980’s when he formed The Phantoms. They became known as one of the best Blues Rock bands on the circuit with their high energy shows and Jerome’s “Jim Morrison” style harp playing and lead vocals. In 1992 after The Phantoms folded he started a solo career touring and recording with some of Canada’s best over the next decade including Jeff Healey, Dutch Mason, Ronnie Hawkins, Jack de Keyzer as well as American greats like James Cotton, Pinetop Perkins and Levon Helm. In 2013 Jerome released “Sanctuary City” which earned much critical acclaim. A year later he won the prestigious Lee Oskar Harmonica Player Of The Year Award at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Jerome is one of Canada’s most talented, eclectic and entertaining Blues artists. He and his great band – Shawn Kellerman on lead guitar (Mel Brown, Lucky Peterson), Eric Schenkman on baritone guitar (Spin Doctors) and Gary Craig on drums (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, Colin Linden) are currently working on a new album as we speak.
