Gravely James: Rockin’ the blues with soul

Blues-rock-soul singer-songwriter Gravely James shares his journey from a trumpet-playing kid to a kickin’ singer-songwriter. He also treated us to two incredibly energetic performances of his songs. We talked about:

• Song Studio
• Niagara region favourite blues band More Bad News and the Horns from Hell, and Blood Sweat and Tears
• 12-bar blues
• How timbrel variety has changed in recordings over the years
• starting your song with the bassline
• where to get grant money in Ontario
