The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre presents The Legendary Downchild Blues Band featuring special guest Spencer MacKenzie in St. Catharines Thursday, November 23.
After 19 albums, countless awards and wowing sold-out audiences around the world for over 50 years, The Legendary Downchild Blues Band are excited to hit the stage at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre for a blues extravaganza like no other. Downchild came to international prominence as the inspiration for Hollywood stars Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi’s hit film, The Blues Brothers. In fact, two Downchild songs, “Shotgun Blues” and “I Got Everything I Need (Almost)” were covered on The Blues Brothers’ 1978 multi-platinum album Briefcase Full of Blues.
With their signature jump-blues style and infectious, soulful sound, Juno Award winners Downchild deliver a live performance that is second to none and good times guaranteed!
