blues - Part 21

Frank Cosentino

My good friend Frank Cosentino will be a special guest with the ‘Pie Guys’ this coming March 27, 2011 at the Blue Goose Tavern in the west end of Toronto. This is an afternoon gig getting underway around 4:30pm.

I haven’t been out to the ‘Goose for a Sunday afternoon jam in a long time so this will be a blast. It’s also Frank’s birthday so we’ll have a few toasts to that plus some humongous “Pig Wings”, the local favorite.

Frank is an amazing blues guitarist who can rip it out like the best of them, combining blues, rock, jazz and many other influences to establish his style.

Perhaps we will get a chance to hear some of his new material from the soon to be released CD. Should be a great Sunday afternoon of blues with Frank plus I am sure a few more guests. Check it out if your in town.

a blurb about a show I went to back on Nov 11th,2010 at the ElMo in Toronto

This show was loud loud loud. I’ve seen Gordie Johnson play before as the frontman of Big Sugar and that was loud too. When I was up at the stage, I was slightly concerned my heart might skip a beat or reset to ‘Grady time’ with the booming bass notes.

I had moderately useful earplugs in, which helped a bit. Gordie, w/ Big Ben Richardson on bass and Nina Singh on drums, put on a great hard rock n’ blues show with the crowd getting into it right from the start.

Solid guitar sound’s, Pulsing bass and a kick drum to knock your socks off where the order of the evening. The band was happy to be there, happy to be back home(for Gordie anyway) and they all where having a great time. Check out my full gallery.

Opening band Motorleague played a great set of their material to get things rollin’.
