Considering their indisputably justified reputation as one of Canada’s most incendiary live propositions, it’s been a full 15 years since Vancouver’s Shawn Hall and Matthew Rogers began crafting their unique twist on the blues.
An already storied career that has to date produced six stunning studio releases or their brand of folk and country-blues vocalist and harmonicist Shawn – the Harpoonist – and guitarist Matt – the Axe Murderer – established a contemporary blues identity entirely their own through relentless touring and increasingly fervid performances that garnered the celebrated duo a national reputation and a much deserved Juno-nomination and Western Canadian Music Awards for their infectious rock, groove, and soul sound.
