MonkeyJunk's first album kicks off with the mumbled words of Son House: "I'm talkin' about the blues," growls the veteran bluesman, "I ain't talkin' about monkeyjunk." Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Steve Marriner, guitarist Tony Diteodoro and drummer Matt Sobb set out to figure out what he was talking about. The noted Ottawa musicians formed MonkeyJunk a little over a year ago, and have a musical definition that's soulful, swampy and steeped in the blues—so much so that they've won a trophy-shelf full of prestigious awards since their inception. Don’t miss your chance to hear why they’ve taken the continent by storm, at the 2010 Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest!
