Here’s another famous Canadian Blues Rock guitarist/singer/songwriter who is long overdue to play BOTR. Born and raised in Nanaimo, BC at age 15 David got to meet Stevie Ray Vaughan backstage at a concert in Victoria and after hearing him play SVR encouraged him to pursue a career in the Blues. He did, formed a band, and very soon was opening for artists like Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Bo Diddley, Otis Rush, George Thorogood and many other Blues legends. A European Tour and record deal with EMI followed (he now records with Cordova Bay). Some of David’s songs have been featured in films and television and been covered by a variety of artists including Buddy Guy. He’s also released a ton of great albums including his most recent “17 Vultures” – his 15th. David has received 6 Juno Award nominations, been named Guitarist of the Year 3X at the Maple Blues Awards, named Musician Of The Year at the West Coast Music Awards and won for Blues Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. He’s also built a large base on international fans - to quote Ireland’s Sorted magazine “I doubt there is another Blues guitarist around at this moment who can speak through their instrument quite like David Gogo can….modern Blues at its best!” If you’ve never seen David Gogo LIVE you don’t want to miss this show. If you have seen him you know why you’ll want to be here!
Reserve early as BOTR often sells out in advance. Proceeds to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust.
