Event Description
High energy, versatile Vancouver singer LJ Mounteney brings an eclectic mix of music and musicians to celebrate the release of her exciting new blues and roots album 'Mama Danced…'! Featuring originals and covers from the album along with well loved roots and blues gems. Mounteney's band features an all-star cast of Vancouver musicians and singers.
A busy singer on the West Coast, Mounteney is no stranger to the Rogue's stage, performing nine consecutive years with Van Django’s Cool Yule Christmas show and as a featured artist in Cameron Wilson’s White Album Reimagined (2018).
Mounteney’s skillful vocals are also showcased in two exciting Vancouver projects. 'Zappostrophe’ finds her playing the music of the late great Frank Zappa. The other is in Wilson’s new and fun late-period Beatles project Get Back Unplugged!
Mounteney was recently an invited featured guest with legendary bluesman Jack Lavin’s Rhythm Train for the Victoria Blues Society’s annual fundraiser.
‘Mama Danced…’ has been gaining high praise from listeners and critics alike, with Blues Bytes magazine declaring “Mama Danced might just turn out to be the surprise hit of the year!” and Blues Blast Magazine stating “Mounteney serves up a winner here!”. Tracks have been played on Saturday Night Blues (CBC), Friday Night Blues (CKUA), Edge on Folk (CiTR), Code Blue (CiTR), Nanaimo’s CHLY and many other Canadian blues and roots radio stations as well as stations across the UK and the US.
‘Mama Danced…’ was produced by Lavin and features several award winning musicians and singers, including writer/guitarist Brandon Isaak and sax man Jerry Cook and many more. Cook will be on hand for the release along with Geeta Das (trumpet), Cole Tinney (piano/organ), Allan Dionne (drums), Jon Roper (guitar), Linda Kidder (bass/vocals). Bring your dancing shoes!
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
