Jack de Keyzer

Don’t miss one of Canada’s premiere blues guitarists, Jack de Keyzer  and his great band as they perform selections from his multi award winning (2X Juno, 7X Maple Blues) catalogue, along with classic blues, rock and soul songs.
De Keyzer’s music is steeped in Chicago blues, London England’s blues rock, Detroit’s Motown, Muscle Shoals’ deep soul, Memphis’ rock and roll, and Philadelphia’s funky soul jazz . De Keyzer knows first hand as he has played with many first generation pioneers of these sounds and styles, Bo Diddley, Otis Rush, Etta James and Ronnie Hawkins to name a few.
