\"David<\/p>\n

For his 10th<\/sup> album, Different Views<\/em>, blues rocker David Gogo<\/a> definitely had some unique sights to inspire him during the recording process. Instead of the usual confines of your typical recording studio, the bulk of the album was recorded at his home – overlooking the 160-acre Christmas tree farm and forest that make up the Gogo family compound. The keyboard tracks were recorded at Rick Hopkins\u2019 (Colin James, Barney Bentall)<\/em> home overlooking breath-taking Lions Bay, British Columbia.<\/p>\n

The album is produced by Russell Broom (Jann Arden, Sam Roberts, The Dudes, Wil)<\/em> with guests Shaun Verrault<\/strong> (Wide Mouth Mason)<\/em>, roots diva Carolyn Mark, and jazz great Phil Dwyer<\/strong> popping in at various times. With the drums set up in the foyer and guitar amps in the laundry room, the Gogo house was filled with music and good food. At times, Gogo wasn\u2019t sure if he was a musician or a caterer! The fact that the clock wasn\u2019t ticking, along with Gogo\u2019s vast collection of vinyl albums, vintage guitars and pop culture memorabilia at their fingertips encouraged a stimulating creative environment. This combination has added variety and spice unlike previous Gogo efforts without losing focus of what he\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n

Gogo tours extensively and has shared the stage with a multitude of rock and blues legends (B.B. King, ZZ Top, George Thorogood, Johnny Winter, Jimmie Vaughan, Colin Linden, Little Feat, Room Full of Blues, Tom Wilson, The Tragically Hip,<\/em> among others). He will continue to tour and perform at blues festivals internationally through the summer and fall in support of Different Views.<\/p>\n

Although still relatively young in blues years, Gogo has an impressive list of accomplishments. So far David Gogo has three Juno nominations<\/strong>, was named Musician of the Year<\/strong> at the Western Canadian Music Awards<\/strong>, was twice named Guitarist of the Year<\/strong> at the Maple Blues Awards<\/strong>, and has been bestowed with the CBC Saturday Night Blues\u2019 Great Canadian Blues Award<\/strong> for a lifetime contribution to the blues in Canada. David Gogo\u2019s continuing successes have him busier than ever and happy to find acceptance as a world class blues man.<\/p>\n

Different Views<\/strong><\/em> will be released in Canada through Cordova Bay Records on July 14, 2009<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
