Jack

Praise for Voodoo Boogie:

Jack as in Canada's premiere blues guitarist, he's got a new cd out - Voodoo Boogie and it smokes with the tones that everyone associates with Jack. All in all this is a must have cd. It's Jack De Keyzer as Canada's king of the blues guitar. Bob Dylan once said if Jack de Keyzer lived in the U.S. he'd be famous. Thankfully Jack lives in Canada and to true Canadian blues lovers, he's as famous as it gets. Ken Wallis Blues Blast 101.5FM

Jack de Keyzer has been the man for a long time. The band was hot the whole night, and it must have been hard not putting most of these on the first album. His cover of Muddy Waters' You Shook Me features ferocious guitar solos. At one point he plays a run that takes him away from the key but back into it seconds later with an ingenious progression, something jazz pros would love. The guy can play; he is a monster. Bob Mersereau, CBC radio

De Keyzer has survived and thrived all these years because he gets it; he's an entertainer. It's about his audience; connecting, engaging and always delivering something new and memorable. Because he's fan-centric people want to see him, support him and say thank you with a standing ovation and a promise to see him again. Karma Productions, London

ROB TOGNONI'S RETRO SHAKIN' OFFICIALLY RELEASED AS THE LOST ALBUM

Just a short note to let you know my "new" CD - The Lost Album - is now available for download at http://www.robtog.com/mp3.htm

Here is a little info from me on the liner notes of the Album:

"I was signed to Provogue from 1995 – 2001, releasing 4 albums for the label. At the time but a small boutique label founded by Dutchman Jan Van der Linden, Jan only signed artists he liked, and luckily I was one of them after being brought to his attention by Australian slide master Dave Hole in 1994.

Jan went on to sell Provogue in 1999. The new owner’s taste was more slanted towards Texas Blues back then, so my heavier on the Rock style was no longer a priority, motivating me to leave by early 2002.

Reclaiming my musical freedom, I recorded my next album, Retro Shakin’, later that year and manufactured a limited edition of copies myself that I sold exclusively on tour. Subsequently I signed with Blues Boulevard Records and have released 7 albums with that company so far. Remembering how much fun I had recording Retro Shakin’, I suggested to label owner Alfie Falckenbach that we give the album a proper official release, so here it is: Retro Shakin’, now more aptly titled The Lost Album, after 12 years, finally released, no longer lost."

Also, upcoming gigs this month are:

12 Fr - Germany, POSTBAUER-HENG - K.I.S.H.
13 Sa - Netherlands, SITTARD - Mir Mustang Sally
27 Sa - Germany, BLUMBERG - Kaktus Bar

That's all for now! :-)

Take care
Kind Regards
