The mighty Bellrays last played Ottawa at the 2004 Bluesfest, far too long ago for my liking. They brought a good-sized crowd into Babylon - particular for a Wednesday night in this sleepy ol' town - to listen to their mighty rock'n'soul testimonial.
Lisa Kekaula - big voice, bigger hair!
You'd jump too, if Kekaula let out a shout while you were nearby.
Actually, bassist Bob Vennum (who is also LK's husband) is a bouncy sort.
Guitarist Tony Fate gets down everything from the MC5-style smashing to jazz.
Drummer Craig Waters can really smash it out too. He was really animated at Bluesfest, and still pretty active midweek.
More rhythm action!
More soul-shout action!
Fateful action!
Tambourine action!
They've been a steamroller live every time I've seen them, and while this didn't top their Bluesfest set, it was still killer - once every two years is definitely not enough Bellrays for me.
