Sat, Feb 6th, 8-10pm, Concert – Solo Gogo – Presenting " Vicksburg Call " – Rockin’ Blues
David Gogo’s groove-fueled blend of blues and rock is the basis for a singular and storied music career. His songs have been featured in film and television and are regularly played on blues radio programs the world over. He has earned numerous Canadian blues accolades, including five JUNO nominations, a Western Canadian Music Award, a CBC Saturday Night Blues Award, and multiple Maple Blues Awards. He has thirty years of performing and hundreds of thousands of tour miles under his belt. He’s played on stage with Johnny Winter, B.B. King, Otis Rush, Albert Collins and Bo Diddley. He has opened for George Thorogood, ZZ Top, The Tragically Hip, Buddy Guy, Charles Bradley, Robert Cray, and Jimmy Vaughan among many others.
Gogo can swap road stories for as long as you can listen. Known as a savvy interpreter, Gogo uses his sophisticated ear to select cover songs that complement his originals. On Vicksburg Call Gogo imparts his unique take on Neil Young’s The Loner, Stephen Stills’ Jet Set (Sigh), and Annie Lennox’s Why, with the help of his great backing band, featuring Bill Hicks on drums and Jay Stevens on bass. There’s A Hole features heartfelt harmonica playing from The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer’s Shawn Hall and a Gogo original, Fooling Myself, gets an extra boost from Savoy Brown founder Kim Simmonds.
