About The Smoke Wagon Blues Band

Featuring whisky-stained soul vocals, funky blues harmonica, slick R&B/roots guitar, swinging piano work, soulful organ, riveting saxophone, with a racy, taut rhythm section, The Smoke Wagon Blues Band, in one form or another, has been performing on festival stages for over two decades. Formed in 1996, the band first became crowd favourites in Hamilton, Ontario’s famous Hess Village. Seven independent album releases, international radio play, and a large local fan base propelled the band to venues across the continent. "The Ballad of Albert Johnson" & the groups previous three albums were international hits reaching the top of the Roots Music Report Blues charts and garnering 5-star reviews in blues magazines and blogs.

Smoke Wagon's latest release "The Ballad of Albert Johnson" won two 2021 Maple Blues Awards:

  • New Artist or Group of the Year

  • Recording/Producer of the Year


"The Ballad of Albert Johnson" has also been nominated for six 2021 Independent Blues Awards:

  • Best Blues Rock Band

  • Best Modern Roots Band

  • Best Contemporary Blues Band

  • Best Modern Roots CD

  • Best Modern Roots Song "A Song for Cheryl"

  • Best Music Video "The Ballad of Albert Johnson"


The band’s previous release, “Cigar Store”, won 3 Awards at the Independent Blues Awards: Best New Blues, Best R&B Song, and Best Modern Roots Album. “Cigar Store” spent over 47 weeks on the Top 50 Roots Music Reports Blues Charts reaching #2 in Canada, #6 in USA, and #16 in Australia.  Red-hot live performances have become the talk of the town at venues across the county and beyond – including a three-night stand at Club 152 during the 2016 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee.
