Only a few words to let you know that there have been published reviews of our new CD RED HOT on the site of the excellent blues photographers Val & Dusty Scott, winners of The Blues Foundation "Keeping The Blues Alive Award". You can see them at http://www.dustyblues.com/cdreviews2010/june2010.html or directly in their home page www.dustyblues.com (June 2010)

The Blazers “Red Hot”. Route 2009. Excellent album coming from The Blazers, leaded by the faultless Pete Cohan’s voice, who, as usual, shows amazing vocal conditions. The rest of the band are Josh Gordon on guitar, Andrew Taylor on bass and Chris Craig on drums, You will also find three deluxe guest musicians, organ and piano player David McMorrow, together with two winners of reputed Canadian JUNE Awards, guitar player Jack de Keyzer and singer, harmonica and sax player Al Lerman. All them do a remarkable work that will be greatly appreciated and valued by aficionados. A bright selection of songs, full of a powerful intensity and joy, perfect to dance, on a splendid mixture of the best rock ‘n’ roll, swing, funky, groove and tons of ‘rockin’ rhythm & blues’ is what you will find along the whole cd. The Blazers are a flamboyant explosive band with clear ideas of what they want to do, who are gradually reaching a great popularity among Canadian audience, specially in Toronto area where they basically move and regularly play. Taverns, clubs, pizza-diners, barbecue grills, theatre halls and other venues and festivals are the normal places to find them live showing what they are able to do. GREAT.

Thanks for the support, our new CD RED HOT has been getting radio play all over the world. We are working on South Africa to cover all the countries in the soccer tournament :) Radio play World Cup! Radio play in Spain - La Hora del Blues - 96.6 Barcelona FM

The Blazers had a great time at the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival. We were on the street for the BLUES CRUISE - 300 classic cars and 12 bands on the street - 5pm - 9pm. The rain held off until 8:45pm then the mad scramble to get the cars and band equipment in. Thanks to the Johnny Lane Band for letting us share their P.A. System. Pete had to take off to Rock and Roll Heaven for an evening gig!

All and all...it was a great time, the Orangeville staff was super as usual and is appreciated for their help running a 4 day festival! Danny Marks opened for David Wilcox to a great crowd! See u next year!
