WHAT’S HAPPENING

NORWOOD — Downchild, the leg-endary Canadian band that Dan Aykroydcredits with inspiring the Blues Brothers,stars Thursday in the Norwood VillageGreen Concert Series in a show beginningat 7 p.m.

Founded by Donnie Walsh, Downchildis billed as the most award-winning bluesband in Canada. It celebrated its 40th an-niversary in 2009 by touring Canada’s ma-jor theaters in sold-out performances in-cluding Toronto’s Massey Hall and Ot-tawa’s National Arts Center with guests in-cluding Mr. Aykroyd, Colin Linden, ColinJames, James Cotton, Wayne Jackson andothers.

It also performed at Ontario’s pavilion atthe 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

As the Blues Brothers, Mr. Aykroyd andthe late John Belushi recorded Down-child’s “Shotgun Blues” and Mr. Walsh’s “(IGot Everything I Need) Almost,” the lattershortlisted as one of Canada’s EssentialSongs in a survey conducted by the Toron-to Star in 2007.

“There would be no Blues Brothers if itweren’t for Downchild,” Mr. Aykroyd isquoted as saying.

Walsh, also known as Mr. Downchild,took the name from a song by Sonny BoyWilliamson II.

Self-taught in his teens on harmonicaand guitar, he is joined by singer ChuckJackson, tenor sax player Pat Carey, drum-mer Mike Fitzpatrick, bassist GaryKendall, and pianist/organist MichaelFonfara — compadres in Downchild for

the past decade and a half, and, he says,the “best musicians I’ve ever played with” –were soaking up the blues in their teenageyears as well, in different parts of the coun-try.

During the past 40 years, the band haswon numerous music industry awards, in-cluding a Juno (Canada’s Grammy) forBest Roots and Traditional Album in 1991.They also received a Juno nomination in2005 for Blues Album of The Year for their“Come On In.” In 2007 Downchild wasnamed Entertainer of the Year at the annu-

al Maple Blues Awards (the Canadianequivalent of a W.C. Handy Award).

With more than 80 musicians on thepayroll during its long life, Downchild hasracked up thousands of performances atconcert halls, fairgrounds, saloons androadhouses in every corner of the conti-nent.

For years a favorite on the North Ameri-can festival circuit, the band made its firstconcert appearance in Europe in 2008, at

KINGSTON, Ontario — The LimestoneCity Blues Festival will once again bringdowntown Kingston alive with the soundsof the blues Aug. 26 through 29.

This year, the legendary Hubert Sumlinwill headline the Springer Market Squarestage Saturday night, Aug. 28. Mr. Sumlingrew up playing guitar with harmonicagreat James Cotton. In 1949, at the age of18, he became Howlin’ Wolf’s lead gui-tarist, a position he held down for the next25 years, except for a brief six-month stintin Muddy Waters’ band. He has playedwith Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, TheRolling Stones, Chuck Berry and countlessothers. His biggest fans include JimmyPage, Carlos Santana and John Mayer, aswell as Keith Richards and Eric Clapton,both of whom play on his album “AboutThem Shoes.”

Mr. Sumlin was born in Greenwood,Miss. When he was 7, he moved with hisfamily to Arkansas. Around this time, Mr.Sumlin began fiddling around with somestring his brother had nailed into a wall.The youngster became so proficient play-ing this twine (and annoyed his brother so)that his mother took a week’s paycheck andbought her son a guitar of his own to play.

Opening for Mr Sumlin will be the 2010International Blues Challenge winner forbest Solo/duet Artist, guitarist Matt Ander-sen.

Bryan Lee and the Blues Power Band willheadline the Princess Street (at Barrie)stage on Aug. 27. Mr. Lee is the fabled blindsinger/guitarist who held court for years ashouse band at the Old Absinthe House onBourbon Street in New Orleans. Since Hur-ricane Katrina, Mr. Lee and his band havebeen on the road nonstop.

The Limestone City Blues Festival pres-ents more than a dozen participating ven-ues with more than 50 shows, three after-noons of concerts in Confederation Park,live blues nightly in many downtownclubs, restaurants and cafes as well asbrunch blues. A $10 admission braceletfrom participating venues is good for allfour days of the festival, in the clubs, thepark, and the concerts on Princess Streetand in Springer Market Square.

“Weird Al” Yankovic, the foremost songparodist of the MTV era, is scheduled toperform in Watertown July 5 at the Alex T.Duffy Fairgrounds arena.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; the show starts at7:30. General admission seating is $35; goldstar seating, $50. Tickets are available at BigApple Music on Arsenal Street and Bolton’sPharmacy on Mill Street in Watertown; atThe Soundgarden in Armory Square in Syra-cuse and at www.ampentertainment.net.

Alfred Matthew Yankovic was born Oc-tober 23, 1959, in Lynwood, Calif. An onlychild, he began playing the accordion atage 7; in his early teens he became an avidfan of the Dr. Demento show, inspired bythe parodies of Allan Sherman and the mu-sical comedy of Spike Jones, Tom Lehrerand Stan Freberg. In 1973 Demento spokeat Yankovic’s school, where the 13-year-oldpassed the radio host a demo tape of homerecordings; three years later, Dementoplayed Yankovic’s “Belvedere Cruising” —an accordion-driven pop song writtenabout the family’s Plymouth — on the air.

Yankovic quickly emerged as a staple ofthe Demento play list. After high school,he studied architecture; while attendingCalifornia Polytechnic State University, healso joined the staff of the campus radiostation, first adopting the nickname“Weird Al” and spinning a mixture of nov-elty and new wave hits. In 1979, the suc-cess of the Knack’s monster hit “MySharona” inspired Yankovic to record aparody dubbed “My Bologna.” Not onlywas the song a smash with Demento fans,but it even found favor with the Knackthemselves, who convinced their label,Capitol, to issue the satire as a single.

After graduating in 1980, Yankovic cut“Another One Rides the Bus,” a parody ofQueen’s chart-topping “Another One Bitesthe Dust” recorded live in Dr.Demento’sstudios; the song became an undergroundhit, and Yankovic followed it up with “I LoveRocky Road,” a satire of Joan Jett and TheBlackhearts’ “I Love Rock ‘n Roll.” ScottiBros issued his debut LP, “Weird AlYankovic,” in 1983. The album featured thesong “Ricky,” a tune inspired equally by ToniBasil’s hit “Mickey” and the “I Love Lucy”television series; the single hit the Top 100charts, and its accompanying video be-came a staple of the fledgling MTV network.

Much of Yankovic’s success was from hisuse of music video. After Michael Jackson’s“Beat It” became the most acclaimed video

in the medium’s history, Yankovic recorded“Eat It” for 1984’s “Weird Al Yankovic in 3-D”;the “Eat It” video, which mocked the “BeatIt” clip scene-for-scene; the Grammy-win-ning single reached the Top 15.

“In 3-D” also launched “King of Suede” (arewrite of the Police’s “King of Pain”) and “ILost on Jeopardy” (a send-up of Band’s“Jeopardy”), as well as “Polkas on 45,” thefirst in a series of pop hits recast as polkanumbers. “Dare to Be Stupid,” the first com-edy record ever releasedon CD, followed in1985, and featured “Like a Surgeon,” a take-off of the Madonna hit “Like a Virgin.” Like itspredecessor, “Dare to Be Stupid” went gold,but 1986’s “Polka Party!” fared poorly.

However, in 1988, Yankovic returnedwith the platinum-selling “Even Worse,” areference to Michael Jackson’s “Bad” LP.“I’m Fat,” the first single and video, alsoparodied the Martin Scorsese-directedclip for Jackson’s hit “Bad”; shot on thesame subway set used by Jackson, thevideo won him his second Grammy. Thenext year, he starred in the feature film“UHF,” which he also co-wrote.

He returned in 1992 with “Off the DeepEnd,” with the Top 40 hit “Smells Like Nir-vana,” a send-up of Nirvana’s “Smells LikeTeen Spirit.” After 1993’s “Alapalooza,”heresurfaced in 1996 with “Bad Hair Day,” hishighest-charting record to date thanks tothe success of the single “Amish Paradise,”a takeoff of the Coolio hit “Gangsta’s Par-adise.” The follow-up, “Running with Scis-sors,” appeared in 1999, with “Poodle Hat”landing in 2003. “Straight Outta Lynwood”appeared in 2006 with the single “White &Nerdy,” a suburban parody of Chamillion-aire’s hit “Ridin.”

SARANAC LAKE — Pendragon The-ater, the Adirondacks’ only year-roundprofessional theater, celebrates 30 yearsin 2010.

Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice” opens Friday.One of the most acclaimed plays in recentyears, written by one of the contempo-rary theatre’s most celebrated play-wrights, (”The Clean House,” “In the NextRoom,”)

“Eurydice” revisits the Orpheus myththrough the eyes of its heroine. It is theplaywright’s posthumous love letter toher own father.

Director Karen Kirkham has created amovement landscape inspired by Butohdance. Dr. Robert Pound, a colleague ofKirkham’s at Dickinson College has com-posed music specifically for Pendragon’sproduction.

New York designer Tijana Bjelajac’s setreflects the play’s inherent theatricality: anelevator in which it rains; a room of stringin a surreal underworld; a symbolic Riverof Forgetfulness.

Dr. Kirkham steers the bittersweet jour-ney of the cast comprised of: Leslie Dame,Donna Moschek, Tyler Nye, Brandon Pat-terson, Clare Paulson, Bob Pettee, LauraJean Schwartau-Swanson.

Pendragon Theatre is at 15 BrandyBrook Ave., Saranac Lake.

PERTH, Onratio — The Classic TheatreFestival, Ontario’s newest professionalsummer theater company, opens its inau-gural season this summer in Perth, On-tario, a picturesque town in the OttawaValley, one hour equidistant fromKingston and Ottawa and one hour northof U.S. border crossings in Northern NewYork.

Dedicated to producing classic hitsfrom the Golden Age of Broadway and theLondon Stage — from 1920s through the1950s — the festival is the brainchild ofveteran theater director andproducer Laurel Smith. Her resume in-cludes direction of critically-acclaimedGeorge Bernard Shaw productions inToronto, a variety of shows on the summerfestival circuit, and working as a producerfor Burning Passions Theatre, ModernTimes Theatre and the massive First NightToronto Festival of the Arts.

Featuring artists whose work has beenseen on professional stages across Cana-da, including the Shaw and Stratford Festi-vals, the Classic Theatre Festival will takeplace from July 9 to Aug. 29 at the StudioTheatre, 63 Gore St. E. in downtown Perth.Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday toSaturday, with 2 p.m. matinees onWednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.Tickets are now on sale, with group dis-

counts, and a 30 percent discount for any-one under age 30 (with ID).

This summer’s inaugural season kicksoff with the Noel Coward favorite, “BlitheSpirit,” directed by Laurel Smith, followedby the rarely produced World War II ro-mance, “The Voice of the Turtle,” by Johnvan Druten, directed by Lezlie Wade. BothSmith and Wade are alumni of the presti-gious Shaw Festival Directors’ Project.

Running from July 9 to Aug. 1, “BlitheSpirit” features Jeffrey Aarles (a familiarface on Canadian stages, in numerousCBC TV productions, and in several Burn-ing Passions Theatre productions) asCharles Condomine, the arrogant novelistwhose interest in the occult leads him toinvite an eccentric medium to perform aséance that unwittingly brings back thespirit of Condomine’s first wife, much tothe consternation of his present spouse.

Playing the role of the first wife, Elvira,is Emily Bartlett (lately of the Shakespeareby the Sea company, as well as numerousfilm and TV roles). Her rival, Ruth, the cur-rent wife, is played by Montreal’s PaulaCostain (frequently seen at the CentaurTheatre and The Globe). MediumMadame Arcati will be performed by Vir-ginia Roncetti, an experienced actor ofdozens of roles in regional theatresthrough the US and Canada, along with

numerous Off-Broadway and Off-OffBroadway shows.

William Vickers (a veteran of 21 seasonsat the Shaw Festival along with numerousappearances at Stratford) plays Dr. Brad-man, and Catherine Bruce, with an exten-sive background in Canadian film, televi-sion and theatre, plays Mrs. Bradman.Edith, the forever anxious maid, is handledby Lindsay Kyte, who has appeared onstages from coast to coast, including The-atre New Brunswick, the ConfederationCentre, and Festival Antigonish.

Written as the bombs fell on Britain dur-ing World War II, the play was Coward's de-fiant statement that we must laugh atdeath so that its ever-present threat doesnot keep us from living.

The second show of the season is the ro-mance, “The Voice of the Turtle,” by Johnvan Druten, running Aug. 6 to 29. ThisWorld War II-era play is the ninth-longest-running show in Broadway history, andeventually became a film starring EleanorParker, Eve Arden and a future U.S. presi-dent.

Krista Leis plays Sally, a small-town girlwho finds romance in the big city. Leis re-cently appeared at the Stratford Shake-speare Festival in “West Side Story,” “AFunny Thing Happened on the Way to theForum,” “Gigi,” and “The Hunchback of

Notre Dame.” She was also Miss Dance ofCanada in the Dance Masters of Americacompetition in 1998.

Sally is best friends with the worldlyOlive, who never met a man she didn’tlove. Played by Sarah Joy Bennett, a fre-quent performer at Ottawa’s Odyssey The-atre, Bennett also has the distinction of ap-pearing as burlesque dancer “Miss CherryTemple” at the 2008 and 2009 Internation-al Toronto Burlesque Festivals.

The women’s friendship is threatenedwhen Sally falls for Bill, who is supposed tobe one of Olive’s many beaus. Michael Du-fays plays Bill, a soldier about to beshipped off to war. Dufays, who has ap-peared in a wide variety of classical andcontemporary roles, is also an accom-plished stage combat instructor/director.

“The Voice of the Turtle” is directed byLezlie Wade, who is also Assistant Directorthis spring to artistic director Des McAnuffon “As You Like It” at the Stratford Shake-speare Festival. She is a member of the in-augural Michael Langham Classical The-atre Workshop at the Festival where she at-tends workshops from world-renownedtheatre artists like Robin Phillips, JohnDoyle, Tim Carroll and Gary Griffin. Wadewas also the assistant director on “Fuente

PERTH, Onratio — The Classic TheatreFestival, Ontario’s newest professionalsummer theater company, opens its inau-gural season this summer in Perth, On-tario, a picturesque town in the OttawaValley, one hour equidistant fromKingston and Ottawa and one hour northof U.S. border crossings in Northern NewYork.

Dedicated to producing classic hitsfrom the Golden Age of Broadway and theLondon Stage — from 1920s through the1950s — the festival is the brainchild ofveteran theater director andproducer Laurel Smith. Her resume in-cludes direction of critically-acclaimedGeorge Bernard Shaw productions inToronto, a variety of shows on the summerfestival circuit, and working as a producerfor Burning Passions Theatre, ModernTimes Theatre and the massive First NightToronto Festival of the Arts.

Featuring artists whose work has beenseen on professional stages across Cana-da, including the Shaw and Stratford Festi-vals, the Classic Theatre Festival will takeplace from July 9 to Aug. 29 at the StudioTheatre, 63 Gore St. E. in downtown Perth.Performances are 8 p.m. Wednesday toSaturday, with 2 p.m. matinees onWednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays.Tickets are now on sale, with group dis-

counts, and a 30 percent discount for any-one under age 30 (with ID).

This summer’s inaugural season kicksoff with the Noel Coward favorite, “BlitheSpirit,” directed by Laurel Smith, followedby the rarely produced World War II ro-mance, “The Voice of the Turtle,” by Johnvan Druten, directed by Lezlie Wade. BothSmith and Wade are alumni of the presti-gious Shaw Festival Directors’ Project.

Running from July 9 to Aug. 1, “BlitheSpirit” features Jeffrey Aarles (a familiarface on Canadian stages, in numerousCBC TV productions, and in several Burn-ing Passions Theatre productions) asCharles Condomine, the arrogant novelistwhose interest in the occult leads him toinvite an eccentric medium to perform aséance that unwittingly brings back thespirit of Condomine’s first wife, much tothe consternation of his present spouse.

Playing the role of the first wife, Elvira,is Emily Bartlett (lately of the Shakespeareby the Sea company, as well as numerousfilm and TV roles). Her rival, Ruth, the cur-rent wife, is played by Montreal’s PaulaCostain (frequently seen at the CentaurTheatre and The Globe). MediumMadame Arcati will be performed by Vir-ginia Roncetti, an experienced actor ofdozens of roles in regional theatresthrough the US and Canada, along with

numerous Off-Broadway and Off-OffBroadway shows.

William Vickers (a veteran of 21 seasonsat the Shaw Festival along with numerousappearances at Stratford) plays Dr. Brad-man, and Catherine Bruce, with an exten-sive background in Canadian film, televi-sion and theatre, plays Mrs. Bradman.Edith, the forever anxious maid, is handledby Lindsay Kyte, who has appeared onstages from coast to coast, including The-atre New Brunswick, the ConfederationCentre, and Festival Antigonish.

Written as the bombs fell on Britain dur-ing World War II, the play was Coward's de-fiant statement that we must laugh atdeath so that its ever-present threat doesnot keep us from living.

The second show of the season is the ro-mance, “The Voice of the Turtle,” by Johnvan Druten, running Aug. 6 to 29. ThisWorld War II-era play is the ninth-longest-running show in Broadway history, andeventually became a film starring EleanorParker, Eve Arden and a future U.S. presi-dent.

Krista Leis plays Sally, a small-town girlwho finds romance in the big city. Leis re-cently appeared at the Stratford Shake-speare Festival in “West Side Story,” “AFunny Thing Happened on the Way to theForum,” “Gigi,” and “The Hunchback of

Notre Dame.” She was also Miss Dance ofCanada in the Dance Masters of Americacompetition in 1998.

Sally is best friends with the worldlyOlive, who never met a man she didn’tlove. Played by Sarah Joy Bennett, a fre-quent performer at Ottawa’s Odyssey The-atre, Bennett also has the distinction of ap-pearing as burlesque dancer “Miss CherryTemple” at the 2008 and 2009 Internation-al Toronto Burlesque Festivals.

The women’s friendship is threatenedwhen Sally falls for Bill, who is supposed tobe one of Olive’s many beaus. Michael Du-fays plays Bill, a soldier about to beshipped off to war. Dufays, who has ap-peared in a wide variety of classical andcontemporary roles, is also an accom-plished stage combat instructor/director.

“The Voice of the Turtle” is directed byLezlie Wade, who is also Assistant Directorthis spring to artistic director Des McAnuffon “As You Like It” at the Stratford Shake-speare Festival. She is a member of the in-augural Michael Langham Classical The-atre Workshop at the Festival where she at-tends workshops from world-renownedtheatre artists like Robin Phillips, JohnDoyle, Tim Carroll and Gary Griffin. Wadewas also the assistant director on “Fuente

“Weird Al” Yankovic, the foremost songparodist of the MTV era, is scheduled toperform in Watertown July 5 at the Alex T.Duffy Fairgrounds arena.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.; the show starts at7:30. General admission seating is $35; goldstar seating, $50. Tickets are available at BigApple Music on Arsenal Street and Bolton’sPharmacy on Mill Street in Watertown; atThe Soundgarden in Armory Square in Syra-cuse and at www.ampentertainment.net.

Alfred Matthew Yankovic was born Oc-tober 23, 1959, in Lynwood, Calif. An onlychild, he began playing the accordion atage 7; in his early teens he became an avidfan of the Dr. Demento show, inspired bythe parodies of Allan Sherman and the mu-sical comedy of Spike Jones, Tom Lehrerand Stan Freberg. In 1973 Demento spokeat Yankovic’s school, where the 13-year-oldpassed the radio host a demo tape of homerecordings; three years later, Dementoplayed Yankovic’s “Belvedere Cruising” —an accordion-driven pop song writtenabout the family’s Plymouth — on the air.

Yankovic quickly emerged as a staple ofthe Demento play list. After high school,he studied architecture; while attendingCalifornia Polytechnic State University, healso joined the staff of the campus radiostation, first adopting the nickname“Weird Al” and spinning a mixture of nov-elty and new wave hits. In 1979, the suc-cess of the Knack’s monster hit “MySharona” inspired Yankovic to record aparody dubbed “My Bologna.” Not onlywas the song a smash with Demento fans,but it even found favor with the Knackthemselves, who convinced their label,Capitol, to issue the satire as a single.

After graduating in 1980, Yankovic cut“Another One Rides the Bus,” a parody ofQueen’s chart-topping “Another One Bitesthe Dust” recorded live in Dr.Demento’sstudios; the song became an undergroundhit, and Yankovic followed it up with “I LoveRocky Road,” a satire of Joan Jett and TheBlackhearts’ “I Love Rock ‘n Roll.” ScottiBros issued his debut LP, “Weird AlYankovic,” in 1983. The album featured thesong “Ricky,” a tune inspired equally by ToniBasil’s hit “Mickey” and the “I Love Lucy”television series; the single hit the Top 100charts, and its accompanying video be-came a staple of the fledgling MTV network.

Much of Yankovic’s success was from hisuse of music video. After Michael Jackson’s“Beat It” became the most acclaimed video

in the medium’s history, Yankovic recorded“Eat It” for 1984’s “Weird Al Yankovic in 3-D”;the “Eat It” video, which mocked the “BeatIt” clip scene-for-scene; the Grammy-win-ning single reached the Top 15.

“In 3-D” also launched “King of Suede” (arewrite of the Police’s “King of Pain”) and “ILost on Jeopardy” (a send-up of Band’s“Jeopardy”), as well as “Polkas on 45,” thefirst in a series of pop hits recast as polkanumbers. “Dare to Be Stupid,” the first com-edy record ever releasedon CD, followed in1985, and featured “Like a Surgeon,” a take-off of the Madonna hit “Like a Virgin.” Like itspredecessor, “Dare to Be Stupid” went gold,but 1986’s “Polka Party!” fared poorly.

However, in 1988, Yankovic returnedwith the platinum-selling “Even Worse,” areference to Michael Jackson’s “Bad” LP.“I’m Fat,” the first single and video, alsoparodied the Martin Scorsese-directedclip for Jackson’s hit “Bad”; shot on thesame subway set used by Jackson, thevideo won him his second Grammy. Thenext year, he starred in the feature film“UHF,” which he also co-wrote.

He returned in 1992 with “Off the DeepEnd,” with the Top 40 hit “Smells Like Nir-vana,” a send-up of Nirvana’s “Smells LikeTeen Spirit.” After 1993’s “Alapalooza,”heresurfaced in 1996 with “Bad Hair Day,” hishighest-charting record to date thanks tothe success of the single “Amish Paradise,”a takeoff of the Coolio hit “Gangsta’s Par-adise.” The follow-up, “Running with Scis-sors,” appeared in 1999, with “Poodle Hat”landing in 2003. “Straight Outta Lynwood”appeared in 2006 with the single “White &Nerdy,” a suburban parody of Chamillion-aire’s hit “Ridin.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING

NORWOOD — Downchild, the leg-endary Canadian band that Dan Aykroydcredits with inspiring the Blues Brothers,stars Thursday in the Norwood VillageGreen Concert Series in a show beginningat 7 p.m.

Founded by Donnie Walsh, Downchildis billed as the most award-winning bluesband in Canada. It celebrated its 40th an-niversary in 2009 by touring Canada’s ma-jor theaters in sold-out performances in-cluding Toronto’s Massey Hall and Ot-tawa’s National Arts Center with guests in-cluding Mr. Aykroyd, Colin Linden, ColinJames, James Cotton, Wayne Jackson andothers.

It also performed at Ontario’s pavilion atthe 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

As the Blues Brothers, Mr. Aykroyd andthe late John Belushi recorded Down-child’s “Shotgun Blues” and Mr. Walsh’s “(IGot Everything I Need) Almost,” the lattershortlisted as one of Canada’s EssentialSongs in a survey conducted by the Toron-to Star in 2007.

“There would be no Blues Brothers if itweren’t for Downchild,” Mr. Aykroyd isquoted as saying.

Walsh, also known as Mr. Downchild,took the name from a song by Sonny BoyWilliamson II.

Self-taught in his teens on harmonicaand guitar, he is joined by singer ChuckJackson, tenor sax player Pat Carey, drum-mer Mike Fitzpatrick, bassist GaryKendall, and pianist/organist MichaelFonfara — compadres in Downchild for

the past decade and a half, and, he says,the “best musicians I’ve ever played with” –were soaking up the blues in their teenageyears as well, in different parts of the coun-try.

During the past 40 years, the band haswon numerous music industry awards, in-cluding a Juno (Canada’s Grammy) forBest Roots and Traditional Album in 1991.They also received a Juno nomination in2005 for Blues Album of The Year for their“Come On In.” In 2007 Downchild wasnamed Entertainer of the Year at the annu-

al Maple Blues Awards (the Canadianequivalent of a W.C. Handy Award).

With more than 80 musicians on thepayroll during its long life, Downchild hasracked up thousands of performances atconcert halls, fairgrounds, saloons androadhouses in every corner of the conti-nent.

For years a favorite on the North Ameri-can festival circuit, the band made its firstconcert appearance in Europe in 2008, at

KINGSTON, Ontario — The LimestoneCity Blues Festival will once again bringdowntown Kingston alive with the soundsof the blues Aug. 26 through 29.

This year, the legendary Hubert Sumlinwill headline the Springer Market Squarestage Saturday night, Aug. 28. Mr. Sumlingrew up playing guitar with harmonicagreat James Cotton. In 1949, at the age of18, he became Howlin’ Wolf’s lead gui-tarist, a position he held down for the next25 years, except for a brief six-month stintin Muddy Waters’ band. He has playedwith Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, TheRolling Stones, Chuck Berry and countlessothers. His biggest fans include JimmyPage, Carlos Santana and John Mayer, aswell as Keith Richards and Eric Clapton,both of whom play on his album “AboutThem Shoes.”

Mr. Sumlin was born in Greenwood,Miss. When he was 7, he moved with hisfamily to Arkansas. Around this time, Mr.Sumlin began fiddling around with somestring his brother had nailed into a wall.The youngster became so proficient play-ing this twine (and annoyed his brother so)that his mother took a week’s paycheck andbought her son a guitar of his own to play.

Opening for Mr Sumlin will be the 2010International Blues Challenge winner forbest Solo/duet Artist, guitarist Matt Ander-sen.

Bryan Lee and the Blues Power Band willheadline the Princess Street (at Barrie)stage on Aug. 27. Mr. Lee is the fabled blindsinger/guitarist who held court for years ashouse band at the Old Absinthe House onBourbon Street in New Orleans. Since Hur-ricane Katrina, Mr. Lee and his band havebeen on the road nonstop.
