yup.... probably my favorite band comin' your way OTTAWA. I know it's last minute but this tour is especially special. Two of New Brunswick's top blues roots groups (Hot Toddy and Isaac and Blewitt) have joined forces for a colaborative live album and subsequent tour.

I'm checking out their Tuesday show at Hugh's Room and I'm freaking out. I travelled through Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2002 with these guys as their tour manager. These guys taught me a great deal about playing music and friendship. I would say that Hot Toddy's Thom Swift is one of my favorite songwriters, and guitarist Joel LeBlanc is my favorite lead guitarist.

Yep, all these guys are great musicians and the music should be great. Hope that some folk catch this fantastic maritime ensemble 'cause it'll be worth every dime!
