SRV Tribute Blues BandAfter a break of six long years, the SRV Blues Band is back with a maturity, vision and renewed commitment. The first version of the trio formed in the late 90s have rolled for nearly seven years in Quebec. This "reincarnation" of the blues legend that is Stevie Ray Vaughan and his Double Trouble group have been, among other things, on the regular schedule of the Bistrot à JoJo, "temple of blues" in Montreal.
The new version of SRV Band Blues attacks the greatest hits of the 7th most important guitarist of all time (according to Rolling Stone) with as much pleasure as the first. The physical resemblance is fascinating, the voice is assured, strong, fair and intense, guitar playing is masterful, energetic, the band delivery is remarkable.
"Voice, gestures, facial expressions, an unparalleled performance! By far the best show of its kind that I attended! "- Michel Rochette, Impérial de Québec
Composed by Olivier Gagné (in the role of Stevie Ray Vaughan), Claude Baillargeon (in the role of Tommy Shannon) and
Steve Gendron (in the role of Chris Layton), the band has captured the Quebec blues scene's attention with two nominations at the prestigious Gala Lys Blues 2014 alongside names like Steve Hill, Bob Walsh and Brian Tyler. They played on the stages of Festival d'été de Québec, Beauport en Blues, Festival des Bières du Monde de Saguenay, the Casino du Lac-Leamy (Gatineau), as well as several venues like the Vieux Bureau de Poste in Saint-Romuald or the Petit Impérial in Québec City.
