House of Blues - Tues Oct 15th

BLUES JAM NIGHT

Feature act: CONQUEROR ROOT

CONQUEROR ROOT blues band is named after "High John the Conqueror Root" – the famous, earthy magical soul of a Mojo hand referenced in many classic blues songs. And so the Conqueror Root band is a smokey gumbo of dirty blues, funky grooves, soul and old school rock ’n’ roll.

Every show starts with the flip of a coin to see who starts trading songs: SAMMY OWEN or CAM WALTER. Sammy brings polished guitar dexterity and natural humour to his funky urban style. Cam brings dirty fuzz and swagger to his blues and boogie repertoire. As each set unfolds, the energy builds. Every song throws down the challenge, each one harder to follow than the last. Expect stage antics and banter. Expect back-to back-guitar solos, trading licks and extended improvised journeys.

Driving the band is the killer rhythm section of GRANT CUMMERFORD on bass and DAVE KLEYNJANS on drums, delivering in-the-pocket shuffles, on-point funk, driving rock and deep-gut bucket blues feels. Grant and Dave really dig in with total presence, in the moment, serving every song to effortlessly connect with the audience who have no choice but to move to the groove of the Root. LET’S PARTY!
