Saturday Dec 4th IBC Winners- The HOROJO Trio We kick off the Holiday Season in Fine Form with the 2020 IBC Winners (The last Ottawa band to win this reputable International Blues Award was MonkeyJunk). Think of us when you’re booking your Holiday Party. SOUL ROCKIN' RHYTHM & BLUES https://horojotrio.com https://youtu.be/1yacHhMYGgs 2020 International Blues Challenge Winner (representing the Ottawa Blues Society), HOROJO Trio is a soul rockin’ rhythm & blues act that features drummer Jamie Holmes, singer/keyboardist Jeff Rogers, and guitarist/singer JW-Jones, who was named the year's Best Guitarist at the IBC.  Jeff is known as one of the hardest working artists in the nation’s capital clocking over 250 shows per year. The Ottawa Citizen says “his voice practically bowls you over with intensity, as sweet, rich and gooey as molasses in a heatwave”, while Nick Krewen (Globe & Mail, Grammy.com, Billboard) calls JUNO nominee JW-Jones “a frequent resident of Billboard’s Top 10 Blues charts and roots radio favourite”. Jamie is one of the most versatile drummers in the country and has toured throughout North-America and Europe and recorded in Nashville with Grammy winning producer Tom Hambridge. The trio came together organically from a chance jam session after a corporate event that was so inspired that it left the audience and the musicians wanting more. Even before their first gig, they had already been called an Ottawa “super group”, and while they admit the band name (derived from the first two letters of each of the members’ last names) is unusual, the future certainly looks bright for the exceptional HOROJO Trio. Their debut album will be released on Stony Plain / Warner Music Canada in early 2022. *PRONUNCIATION: HO-RO-JO. 1) HO - Think Santa Claus  2) RO - "Row Your Boat"  3) JO - "Joe".   Covid protocols are in affect: Wear a mask when moving about the room.
