Did you know that the original Blues Brothers – Dan Akroyd and John Belushi were inspired by a Canadian band called The Downchild Blues Band – take a listen to this clip and you will see why…
https://therepairstore.ca/eodvgzygqw6 https://mmopage.com/news/4ydgwfiiTalk about some great jump blues on that second number.
https://fireheartmusic.com/yfnwgs8n2 I remember seeing them back in the 90’s at many local Ottawa and Toronto bars – they always put on a great, tight and swinging blues show.
With some great blues harp, blues guitar and excellent portfolio of traditional blues and swing blues numbers – you knew when you went out to see Downchild, you were going to be entertained.

Great to hear that they are on a celebration tour for their 40th anniversary hosted by non other than Dan “The Man” Akroyd himself. With stops planned in Ottawa, Toronto, Belleville, Niagra Falls and Montreal this should be a terrific blues event.
