The Roys - Recording their debut album, Lonesome Whistle was the culmination of a dream that began for The Roys during childhood. Elaine and Lee were born in Massachusetts, and the family later relocated to New Brunswick. They grew up listening to traditional country and bluegrass music and realized that their harmonies were a perfect fit for those genres. It wasn't long before the siblings picked up instruments (Elaine - guitar; Lee - bass, drums, guitar and mandolin). Faith, music and family are the cornerstones of The Roys’ life and they all intersect on Lonesome Whistle. The album showcases Elaine's beautiful, emotion-laden voice and Lee's effervescent tenor. The project also shines a spotlight on their songwriting talents.

Norm Macdonald (8:00 PM)

Perhaps best known for his offbeat delivery of "the fake news" on Saturday Night Live for five seasons, Norm Macdonald is a major comedic presence. Aside from his notable characterizations of Bob Dole and Burt Reynolds, Macdonald proved that his acerbic wit and writing were not to be contained to just the small screen.

Macdonald starred in the film Dirty Work (which he also co-wrote) and, as the voice of ‘Lucky the Dog’ in the Eddie Murphy hit, in Dr. Doolittle. He was also seen in Billy Madison with Adam Sandler and in the Academy Award-nominated The People Vs. Larry Flint.

A native of Quebec City, Norm began his stand-up career in comedy clubs throughout Canada. Upon moving to Los Angeles, he became a writer on the ABC hit series, Roseanne. His first stand-up special, Me Doing Stand-Up, aired on Comedy Central in March 2011.

TV credits: Saturday Night Live, The Norm Show, guest appearances: Family Guy (voice), Drew Carey, Newsradio & My Name Is Earl; Movie credits: Billy Madison, Dirty Work, Screwed, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo & Dr. Dolittle movies (voice)

Casino Regina Mid-Winter Blues Festival (7:30 PM)

The Regina Delta Blues Association is proud to present Casino Regina Mid-Winter Blues Festival Headliner: Coco Montoya, Featuring:  J.P. Soars, Nigel Mack and the Blues Attack.

  

 

Coco Montoya - Born in Santa Monica, Montoya's career began in the mid-70s when Albert Collins asked him to join the Icebreakers as a drummer and taught him his "icy hot" guitar style. In the early 80s, John Mayall asked Montoya to join the newly reformed Bluesbreakers.  He remained a member of the band for 10 years, a number of those years alongside Walter Trout forming a two guitar attack that epitomized the Bluesbreakers sound of the 80s. After years of toil under Collins and Mayall, Montoya was finally in the spotlight and his award as Best New Blues Artist of 1996 proved quite ironic, given his years of experience. Montoya’s latest CD is I Want It All Back.

 J.P. Soars is one of those rare young guitar players that can play anything, anywhere, at any time including includes ‘cigar box’ guitars. Growing up in Arkansas and later moving to Florida, this metal guitarist turned bluesman studied the music of the blues greats as well as jazz players.  JP and the Red Hots made their second trip the International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee after winning the local South Florida Blues Society competition 2 years in a row. In 2009 at the IBC Challenge, the band proved that their popularity was not just in Florida when they took home top honours. JP was also awarded the Albert King Blues Guitar award.

Nigel Mack, Canada’s Blues Ambassador to Chicago, is a blues ‘triple threat’ (vocals/harmonica/guitar). He delivers a high-energy show that features a dynamic mix of blues classics and contemporary original blues. Nigel switches seamlessly between instruments and is equally proficient at them all. Born in Saskatoon, but relocating to Chicago in 2003, Nigel Mack and his ‘Blues Attack Band’ have toured North America and Europe headlining top blues venues throughout. With the release of Devil’s Secrets, Nigel is looking forward to building on past successes and bringing his own brand of Chicago horn-infused blues to a new generation of blues fans. www.nigelmack.com

Casino Regina Mid-Winter Blues Festival (7:30 PM)

The Regina Delta Blues Association is proud to present Casino Regina Mid-Winter Blues Festival Headliner: Walter Trout, Featuring: Tracy Nelson. Opening act is Hardluck & Trouble.

 

Walter Trout is considered one of the greatest rock/blues guitarists around the globe.  Born in New Jersey, Trout relocated to Los Angeles where he became steeped in blues supporting legends like John Lee Hooker, and Big Mama Thornton. In 1981, Trout joined the remaining members of the formative 60s blues-rock group Canned Heat. But the real turning point in his career was his five-year tenure with British blues giant John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. Mayall drafted Trout and paired him with fellow six-string virtuoso Coco Montoya. Their twinned attack provided the Bluesbreakers a renaissance that took the group and its members to the apex of the international blues touring circuit. Trout continuously circles the globe touring as one of modern blues most prolific guitar heroes.

Tracy Nelson – As the front woman for 60s iconic San Francisco rock band Mother Earth, Nelson shared bills with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. It was during this period with Mother Earth when Nelson wrote and recorded what was to be her signature song, Down So Low. Nelson’s blues roots run in the truest sense, roots that intertwine with modern music, whether it’s considered rock, blues, or country.  In 1974, she recorded a duet with Willie Nelson, After the Fire is Gone, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. With her 2011 release, Victim of the Blues, her 26th album in just over five decades, she has circled fully to blues, back to the original music from South Side Chicago that mesmerized her teenaged mind in the mid-60s.

Hardluck & Trouble - Hard Luck & Trouble is a new blues, roots, and rock band featuring acoustic, electric, and slide guitar, harmonica, and a wide range of music. The band plays blues music back to the masters of the first half of the twentieth century, including Robert Johnson, Big Joe WIlliams, Willie Dixon, and Hound Dog Taylor. But they don't stop there, grabbing tunes that fall out of modern-day blues and rock artists such as ZZ Top and Jack White. Since forming, the band has played at events including CJTR's 10th Anniversary Concert Series and the Saskatoon 2011 Blues Festival.
