Three dudes making one hell of a racket!
In their short 5 year existence, Ottawa, Canada-based MonkeyJunk has cultivated a unique blend of SWAMP ROOTS ROCK. Their extensive
touring has helped to develop a notable fan base across Canada, the US
and Europe. They have been rewarded for their hard work with many
awards including:
2012 Juno Award winner – Blues Album of the Year
2008-2013 – 15 Maple Blues Awards
2010 Canadian Independent Music Award – Blues Album of the Year
2010 Blues Music Award (USA) – Best New Artist Debut
“The name MonkeyJunk comes from Son House, who once said ‘I’m talking
about the blues, I ain’t talking ’bout no monkeyjunk.’ But I am going to
talk about MonkeyJunk – they are brilliant and have produced one of the
best albums I have heard in a long time…; Ten tracks that prove that
this Canadian band is here to stay. And as Son House would have said if
he had seen these boys: ‘I’m talking ’bout the blues, I’m talking about
MonkeyJunk!’” – Bob Boncey, Blues Matters (UK)
“The Sultans of Swamp R&B” – William Shatner
“MonkeyJunk are keeping the spirits of Muddy Waters and the other roots
giants alive with their own unique brand of music. Check it out – you
won’t be disappointed.” – David Wilcox
“Loved your CD, some
really cool tunes – It is one I find myself listening to over and over
again” – Ritchie Hayward, Little Feat
“Blues, raw and different.” – Star Trek captain/Canadian actor/musician Bruce Greenwood
The highly anticipated 3rd album entitled All Frequencies will be
released on Stony Plain Records/Warner Music Canada on September 24th
2013

Cousin Harley
http://paulpigat.com/
Paul Pigat - Vocals and Guitar
Keith "El Swartho" Picot - Upright Bass
Jesse Cahill - Drums
Cousin Harley is the rocking hillbilly persona of Paul Pigat. This band has a hard-earned reputation for delivering everything from hot-rod rockabilly to foot stomping vintage country and western swing.
Paul is joined by Keith Picot on upright bass and Jesse Cahill on drums to create an unstoppable rock 'n roll wrecking crew.
From classic honky tonk and cow punk rippers, to a helping of western
swing and classic jump blues, Cousin Harley plays in the old tradition —
slugging it out hot and heavy in roadhouses across the land and across
the seas.
