Shakura S'Aida and Band...
Take a portion of Southern Baptist, flavour it with a drop of Brooklyn, stir in a spoonful of Swiss chocolate — and you’ve created a powerhouse singing sensation: Shakura S'Aida, who started off 2008 with a triumph at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, when she earned the 2nd runner-up position, competing against more than 100 bands from more than 20 different countries. |
Blackburn...
“BLACKBURN” is a unique, soulful band with a very diverse sound comprised of a fusion of soul, Blues, Pop, Jazz and Reggae which is versatile and exciting, thus creating a unique sound for their audience. “BLACKBURN” brings it all together with conscious lyrics to create a smooth and soulful groove. The five member group has been writing and performing together since 1995. Four of the band members are brothers which enhances their natural style. Their two releases “Soul Searching” and “Livin” have been played on several Toronto radio stations including CBC National. Their first single “Africa” enjoyed a lengthy play in the top five on Canadian Pop Radio. The video “Africa” was a popular hit on Much Music’s video rotation schedule. In addition to radio play, “BLACKBURN” has appeared on local and national television shows including City TV’s Breakfast Television, Open Mike with Mike Bullard and TSN’s Off the Record and featured on the City Pulse News Series “Jazz In The City”. The band’s many live performances include Jazz and Blues Festivals across Canada including The Molson Amphitheatre, Canadian National Exhibition, The Distillery District, Beaches Canada Day Festival and The Komasket Music Festival in Kelona B.C, just to name a few.
