This is the second volume of a series of live recordings featuring Niagara Music Award winners, The Niagara Rhythm Section, Canada’s hottest back-up band and their weekly guests.
The Niagara Rhythm Section has been performing every Saturday night since 2003 at The Anchorage Inn in historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada. Steve Goldberger on bass and vocals, Dave Norris on drums, Penner MacKay on percussion (all veteran musicians originally hailing
from Toronto) and Herb Nelson on keyboards are the core of the band with several rotating guitar players filling out the mix (Steve Grisbrook, Ed Kopala and others).
Each week they invite a different Canadian artist to be their guest and they put on an unrehearsed two-hour show of live improvised music. Their guests have included both well-known Canadian name artists, as well as some of the most in-demand studio musicians in the country.

Joining in the CD Release celebrations this week, we welcome our special guest, Chuck Jackson (www.chuckjackson.com).
You probably know him as the lead singer for the Downchild Blues Band. However, it was when he joined the Cameo Blues Band in 1978 that he really began to shape the distinctive rhythm and blues style that he has injected into many projects. Armed with a hot blues harmonica, Chuck was a "hired gun" on soundtracks of the internationally acclaimed Canadian TV production of "Night Heat" and on the 80's biggest hit "Miami Vice". Chuck served his apprenticeships with Bo Diddley, James Cotton, British R&B star Georgie Fame, as well as jam sessions with "The Blues Brothers" - John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd.
In 1990 Chuck became the front man of the legendary Downchild Blues Band, appearing on JUNO-nominated albums Good Times Guaranteed, Come On In and on Lucky 13. Four-time nominee and winner of the Maple Blues Award's "Male Vocalist of the Year" in 2000. In 2002 Chuck was honored by the Toronto Blues Society with the prestigious "Blues With A Feeling"
Award for his contribution to Canadian Blues.
Chuck always puts on an amazing show and he draws a big crowd, so get there early if you want a good seat!
