This week's featured guest: SAT.,JAN 5TH - CHUCK JACKSON

The Anchorage, 186 Ricardo St. Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON, 905-468-2141

Every Saturday night - 9:30 pm - no cover

Happy new year, y'all.

This Saturday we welcome back bluesman 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 '80s' 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.

An avid sports fan, Chuck was able to combine that love with his musical passion when, as a member of the all-star Labatt's Double Blues Band he performed at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary.

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!

Later, alligator...
