  • Bio
    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

    Matt Sobb plays LOS CABOS drumsticks, DREAM cymbals, CASEY drums and REMO drumheads

    Steve Marriner uses Axeworks guitars and Traynor Amps

    Tony D uses Dingotone pedals

 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.
