Gord Downie @ the Roots and Blues
April 14, 2010
Gord Downie & the Country of Miracles (ON)
Best known as lead singer/songwriter for the Tragically Hip, Canada’s trad rock icon, Gord Downie, backed by Canadian indie band, The Country of Miracles, emanates a passion and poignant sensibilities that few others deliver with equal conviction. Renowned as much for his compelling onstage presence as his eclectic original music and lyrics, Gord’s expressive songs are filled with timeless messages and imagery centered on Canadian themes, ranging in style from folk and country-rock to jazz-tinged experimental. Look for Gord’s third solo album, “The Grand Bounce” scheduled for release in June.

Three time Grammy nominee JOAN ARMATRADING is one of the most influential female guitar players of our time – the first female UK artist to debut at #1 on Billboard’s blues charts and the first female UK artist nominated for a Grammy in the blues category.
