But beyond the musical artists, there are other industry professionals who work hard to promote NB music in general. It’s important to encourage all of these people by distributing awards voted on by their peers and the public. This will greatly contribute to the development of the music industry in the province.”

Musique NB est fier de dévoiler les Prix Music/Musique NB Awards qui seront remis pour la première fois le 10 octobre 2010, à Moncton.

Pour le directeur général de Musique NB, Jean Surette, ces prix sont une façon de reconnaître tout le superbe travail accomplit par les artistes et les professionnels en musique de la province : « Il y a du talent musical extra-ordinaire dans cette province et les Néo-brunswickois peuvent se trouver chanceux de pouvoir côtoyer de si excellents musiciens. Mais au-delà des musiciens, il y a ces professionnels de l’industrie qui les aident à se faire connaître ou qui aident à promouvoir la musique du N.-B. en général. Il est important d’encourager ces deux groupes de façon particulière en leur attribuant des récompenses décidées par leurs pairs et par le public. Cela contribue à l’essor de l’industrie musicale de notre province. »

4. TBS Presents Guitar Master Lurrie Bell (Chicago)
The Tantramarsh Blues Society Presents
The Lurrie Bell Band (Chicago)
9 PM, Friday, July 9, George's Roadhouse
Tickets: $15 (available at Ducky's and Tidewater Books)
Born on December 13, 1958, the son of famed Chicago blues harmonica master Carey Bell, Lurrie Bell was raised in a Chicago household naturally steeped in the blues. “Because of my dad there was all kinds of music, growing up in that house,” Bell reminisces. All manner of blues greats would regularly drop by to rehearse: guitarists including Eddie Taylor, Eddie C. Campbell, Jimmy Dawkins, and Eddy Clearwater (Bell's cousin); harmonica legends like Big Walter Horton; and equally storied keyboardists including Sunnyland Slim and Muddy Waters sideman Lovie Lee, whom Bell came to regard as his spiritual grandfather.
At 15, he formed his first band while attending Crane High School on the city’s West Side. In 1977 at the age of 17, Bell was a founding member of The Sons of Blues with fellow Chicago blues scions Freddie Dixon (son of Willie) and Billy Branch (son of Ben), and performed that year at the Berlin Jazz Festival presented as the New Generation of Chicago Blues. Soon afterwards the group cut three standout tracks for Alligator Recordss Grammy-nominated series Living Chicago Blues. Lurrie had already made his first appearances in the recording studio earlier that year with his father on Carey’s Delmark album Heartaches and Pains, and on Eddie C. Campbell's Rooster Blues album King of the Jungle. Not only was Bell recognized as an exceptionally talented guitarist and musician, his knowledge of different blues styles, his soulfulness and his musical maturity brought write-ups in publications such as Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
At 20, Bell joined the band of Chicago’s acknowledged Queen of the Blues: Koko Taylor and stayed for several years, honing his chops and learning the ropes of being a traveling musician. Bell teamed up again with his father, as a member of Carey Bell’s Blues Harp Band. "It was quite an experience," Bell says fondly. "He always told me I sounded as good as his guitarist, Eddie Taylor, and it made me feel good to hear those comparisons."
Battling and defeating a series of personal demons kept him out of the studio and off the road for a long spell in the late 1980’s, but Bell finally persevered and re-surfaced in the mid-1990’s with a succession of four highly acclaimed records for Chicago’s Delmark label. In 2002 saw the release of the CD Cuttin’ Heads and in 2004 Alligator Records released Second Nature an acoustic duet record with Carey Bell that was nominated for Acoustic Record of the Year by the Blues Foundation in Memphis.
Sadly, Lurrie lost his long-time friend, partner, and mother of his daughter Aria, Susan Greenberg, to cancer on January 20, 2007. Lurrie's loss of Susan was soon followed by the death of his legendary father, Carey Bell, to heart failure on May 6, 2007. Their last recorded project together, the live DVD/CD release on Delmark, Getting Up Live ended up to be their most special.
Bell responded by immersing himself even deeper into his music and with the generous financial support of the Greenberg family launched his own label imprint Aria B.G. Records. The result was Let’s Talk About Love his most accomplished, deeply heartfelt album yet. Produced by longtime associate Matthew Skoller, the record vividly displays Bell’s unshakeable faith in the power of the blues.
Bell’s recorded output has been prodigious, even despite his lengthy absence from the scene: he has contributed to well over 50 albums. Bell was voted Most Outstanding Guitar Player in the 2007 Living Blues magazine critics’ poll, and was nominated for a 2007 Blues Music Award for Best Guitarist by the Blues Foundation. As producer Skoller’s liner notes for Let’s Talk About Love observe, "Lurrie is now a blues master at a needed time when there are very few blues masters left."
Reviews of Bell’s new CD: “ Lets Talk About Love”
On his latest CD, Bell’s guitar work melds raw emotion and fiery technique in a majestic meld of tonal aggression, linear sureness, and exploratory drive. A sound these days is shot through with triumph: although he may continue to face down his demons in song, his music has an undercurrent of hard– won tranquility that reminds us that the blues, for all the stereotypes about pain and suffering, is ultimately about overcoming.”
The Chicago Reader–honoring Lurrie Bell as the Best Chicago Blues Musician of 2008.
Chicago blues scion Lurrie Bell celebrates a come back with an album that focuses squarely on his fast strengths: a Blunt, ripping guitar style, dark, brooding vocals and menacing, reverb–drenched arrangements very much in the Howlin’ Wolf/Willie Dixon mode. Buoyed by a sinewy band of top Chicago players, Bell sounds ready for his close–up.
The Boston Herald
Bell has the amazing ability to play the blues in a very traditional way, and yet not like anyone else either before him or now. His singing sounds better than ever, passionate and personal. This is the best Chicago blues album of the year.
Tom Marker–WXRT Chicago
The disc is more than a musical time… is an affirmation of life, a beam of light cost to what the future. Through the endlessly varied realms of joy, doubt, fear despair and redemption that characterized the blues expression, Bell has done more than provide us with a template of hope; it is music–and with his life–he has provided us with a roadmap how to find it.

The ECBS is working with the Dutch Mason Blues Festival to create a "Blues
Idol" competition in Truro throughout July.
Amateur singers will be able to enter one of three a singing auditions on
subsequent Saturdays at the Truro Mall. They will be judged by David de
Wolfe, a representative of Big Dog radio, the Truro Mall, the ECBS and
Mingo's music, and voted on by the public. The winner gets the chance to
sing a couple of songs at the Dutch Mason Festival and prizes from the Mall.
We (the ECBS) have been asked if we can supply an audition band. This would
require the band being in Truro on Saturday afternoons. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED
SCHEDULE. Each entrant will choose one classic blues song from the list
(attached with schedule).
The band will open with a few songs of their own and then provide the
accompaniment for the audition. Back line will be supplied.
Please note that this is a request for a volunteer band. The ECBS is not
receiving any money for this. If you're an up and coming band, this could be
very good exposure for you.
If you are interested, please contact Kim by email. kimobrien@eastlink.ca
