If it wasn't for the myriad of sweating bodies, Sopranos could well have burned to the ground on this year's Mother's Day, as the amazing JW Jones Band carved out white hot licks from start to finish of the showcase Victoria Blues Society event held May 11th.

From start to finish, the small dance floor at Sopranos was jam packed.... VBS' founder and chair, Deb Rhymer said, "I never saw so many individuals on the floor dancing, partner or not.. just shaking it, me included. A magic day indeed"

The recipient's of 'Electric Act of the Year' at the Maple Blues Awards immediately demonstrated why they received the prestigious award. The VBS gig was part of the band's CD release tour for their latest offering "Bluelisted" and by all accounts was a resounding success.

The four hour gig was opened by Victoria's own, Bill Johnson, heating up the audience with his well known acoustic blues renderings. Bill is a Maple Blues nominee, and fans can catch his gigs weekly, see the VBS online calendar for dates.

JW Jones Band music is available online, visit the band's website today, you won't be disappointed.
