“A diverse and powerful blend of high energy blues”
THE MIGHTY DUCK BLUES BAND`S DEBUT RECORDING DUCK SOUP
With guest appearances by Paul Reddick, Chuck Jackson, Cheryl Lescom, John Finley, Joun Dickie and Lance Anderson
Produced by Jim Casson
After more then a decade as a mainstay of the Niagara Region’s live music scene, The Mighty Duck Blues Band has released the long awaited debut recording, Duck Soup. The band built its reputation presenting popular Saturday afternoon blues matinee’s in St. Catharines, Ontario, a musical journey that began at The Golden Pheasant(a.k.a The Duck) , moving to a new home base, The Bar Upstairs in 2016.
Known primarily as a versatile back up band that can pull a great show together on the fly, their forte has been to build every performance around a guest artist, the best blues singers and musician’s Canada has to offer. That approach spilled over into the studio sessions with great success. MDBB members, Dave Curry guitar, Canada Dave Torosian keyboards, Jim Casson drums and Gary Kendall bass were joined on Duck Soup by vocalists Cheryl Lescom, Chuck Jackson (Downchild), John Dickie (Sisters Euclid, Cameo Blues Band), John Finley (Rhinoceros, Checkmates) and Juno Award winner Paul Reddick with Lance Anderson (The Last Waltz) adding piano on four tracks. Casson, Curry and Kendall contributed to the song writing and song choices.
Now celebrating their tenth anniversary with the release of Duck Soup, The Mighty Duck Blues Band has earned a strong position in the Niagara Region’s music history and a positive look towards the future by bringing their music to the rest of Canada and the world.
