Blues At The Bow is proud to present the 4th show of the 2008\2009 concert series
Kenny "Blues Boss" Wayne

Get your tickets now by calling the Bluesline 403 545 2340

Juno Award winning keyboardist/singer/songwriter KENNY "BLUES BOSS" WAYNE'S “Can’t Stop Now”, his third release on Toronto-based Electro-Fi Records, is abuzz with crackling Blues Boss originals, plus a pair of well-chosen covers, that embrace his elemental influences – high-energy boogie-woogie piano, rolling New Orleans blues and jazz, improv-heavy Kansas City swing AND vibrant West Coast jump.

The influence of rock legends Fats Dominoand Johnnie Johnson play a key role on the record. Wayne is well known for his boogie woogie capabilities but as noted blues piano historian Barry Dolins observes, “Kenny’s piano work has more of a jump sound – a rock’n’roll base versus a strictly blues base.” Dolins, who has coordinated the Chicago Blues Festival since 1984, says “It’s a sound influenced by Amos Milburn, Bill Doggett, and Johnny Otis. There’s another instrument at which he excels: his richly warm and gritty voice. Oh, and he’s got a third vital element working for him: the look.”
