[BLUES] For the week between Christmas and New Years, the Howlin’ at the Tralf series heats up with a visit from guitarist Jack De Keyzer. British-born but raised and based in Canada, De Keyzer is a modern legend in blues circles. He’s been bestowed with some of Canada’s highest honors, including a pair of Juno awards (essentially, Canadian Grammy Awards) for Blues Album of the Year in 2003 and 2010 for 6 String Lover and The Corktown Sessions, respectively. His session work has resulted in recordings with Etta James, Bo DIddley, Blue Rodeo, Otis Rush and John Hammond Jr., and he was even called upon to give a guitar lesson to the son of then-Canadian-Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. His latest, which he’s supporting at the Tralf Music Hall on Thursday, December 27, is called Checkmate. This is a partially seated GA show.
