With The Strongman Blues Remedy, Volume 1 a
new collective project is launching on the global
blues scene. Conceived in the middle of the global
Pandemic, the Strongman Blues Remedy is an
antidote for the weariness that the past two years
have brought to music lovers everywhere. By doing
songwriting sessions with a stellar cast of Canadian
Blues artists, Steve Strongman developed an album
of songs that touch upon multiple experiences and
viewpoints, with the overarching message that the
best remedy for the world we’re living in right now is
to fill it with music that celebrates life and focuses
on the joys of being on the other side.
Special guests include: JUNO and Maple Blues
Award winners and Dawn Tyler Watson, Crystal
Shawanda, Harrison Kennedy and Steve Marriner - a
who’s who of the blues scene. Already seven albums
deep into his career, Strongman is well known as
a solo artist and stellar songwriter within the blues
community. For Strongman, the opportunity to work
with these musicians and vocalists was a dream
come true. As a recording artist and performer, Strongman has been delighting
audiences around the world for decades, liberally applying swampy swagger
and sweetness to shuffles, blues ballads, and four-on-the-floor chuggers alike.
The Strongman Blues Remedy, Volume 1 is his first release on Stony Plain Records
and hits stores on June 17.
