SUMMARY:Big Hank's Christmas Blues Show
DESCRIPTION:Big Hank has his “Ho Ho working” and the highly regarded\, veteran bluesman and bandleader is certain “it’s going to work on you.” \nBig Hank has been touring his Blues Christmas show for a number of years now and this unique\, variety filled program of blues-basted Yuletide tunes is one that has left audiences drenched in the Christmas spirit and coming back for more when the next holiday season rolls around. \nTouring from Vancouver Island to the snowbound prairies of Alberta\, this Christmas show has consistently tied together a variety of classic blues styles\, some r&b and a touch of soul. Blues Songs of Christmas is a show where every song puts a different spin on the season and everything that goes with “the most wonderful time of the year.” \nThis refreshing take on holiday concerts finds the singer and his talented\, veteran band rolling through music that includes going back a century to Christmas blues tunes that have been favourites of the boomer generation that grew up listening to B.B. King and Eric Clapton. Tunes from the books of Big Joe Turner\, Charles Brown\, Etta James and Louis Jordan also find their way into the festive mix. \nIt’s been quite the road for Big Hank\, originally from Stettler Alberta who cut his teeth on the Edmonton bar and cabaret circuit early on in his career. He immersed himself in the blues with two of the best blues bands to have come out of Western Canada in the seventies and eighties\, those being the Edmonton-based Hot Cottage and Victoria’s Uncle Wiggly’s Hot Shoes Blues Band. The latter group signed with RCA\, sold an impressive number of albums and opened for the greats like Muddy Waters\, Joe Cocker\, James Cotton\, Paul Butterfield and Koko Taylor. His love of blues has also been the foundation of acts like The Toasters\, A Fistful of Blues and The Kingpins that were also regional favourites. \nThe Band: Big Hank Lionhart – Vocals / Steve Cross – Guitar / Mick Woodhouse – Bass / Matt Pease – Drums / Steve Ranta – Keys / Paul Wainwright – Sax
