Canada’s top blues guitarist never felt he was at a musical crossroads. ‘I just try to follow my instincts, and lately it’s been working pretty good.’
By BRAD WHEELER
Friday, August 26, 2005 Page R20
As record companies and musicians do their various things, the blues makes its own way. In the early nineties, EMI Records signed a young blues guitarist out of Nanaimo, B.C., and, naturally, strongly suggested that he put out a rock — not a blues — record. David Gogo did as he was instructed, but in an insurgent stroke, included one blues track on the album, B.B. King’s It’s My Own Fault, a slow burner that was a staple of King’s live shows in the sixties. READ MORE

B.C.’s David Gogo widens audience
Joins B.B. King in town Wednesday
GREG QUILL
ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST
David Gogo’s “Hey Juanita,” a jaunty and infectious country-soul rocker, may be the breakout cut on his latest album, Vibe.
This is not the first time Nanaimo, B.C. singer/guitarist David Gogo has shared a stage with his idol. On Wednesday night at the Molson Amphitheatre, Gogo opens for B.B. King at the American blues legend’s 80th birthday bash at the Molson Amphitheatre.
“The first time was 15 years ago, when I was 21 and just starting to make a name for myself,” says Gogo, who last year received the CBC Saturday Night Blues Great Canadian Blues Award for a lifetime contribution to the musical genre in Canada, and earlier this year picked up the Maple Blues Guitarist of the Year Award.

Ridin’ With The King To Celebrate Legend’s 80th Birthday
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31 at 7:00 p.m.
MOLSON AMPHITHEATRE
TORONTO, ON
Ottawa, ON – Juno-nominated blues guitarist, David Gogo will get to live out his dreams twice when he hits the stage to perform as part of the billing with the one and only B.B. King at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON on Wednesday, August 31st at 7:00 Pm as part of B.B.’s 80th Birthday celebration.
In 1992, the Nanaimo, BC native, had to pinch himself when he landed on stage to jam with the “King of The Blues” at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux, Switzerland, where he was a special guest of festival director Claude Nobs. The Montreux visit had Gogo guesting with another one of his heros, Otis Rush who had high praise for the young guitarist. To cap off the Montreux experience, Gogo was invited to join Blues Traveller and John Popper, who laid down some harmonica licks to compliment his stinging guitar sounds.
The upcoming Toronto performance features a “Young Guns of the Blues” with David Gogo alongside Kenny Wayne Shepherd, a guitarist who, like Gogo, has been carrying the torch in introducing blues music to a whole new generation of fans, who are discovering contemporary blues through classic rock acts such as Led Zepplin, Cream, Pink Floyd and Eric Clapton. In keeping with reaching a wider audience, David’s first single “Love In The City”, a track he co-wrote and that features Tom Wilson (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings), went Top 35 at rock radio across Canada. This kind of success as an indie artist has been paramount in having doors open to the mainstream rock audience for Gogo. Similarly, opening two festival performances last summer for The Tragically Hip and his support slot with ZZ Top at this year’s Ottawa Bluesfest have also been key in what the Ottawa Citizen called his “breakthrough performance.”
