B.B. King
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.”
