MonkeyJunk, who returns to Victoria after a four-year absence, is one of the hardest working bands on the scene today, performing at venues and festivals around the world.

Their latest Juno-winning album and fifth CD, Time to Roll, is precisely the caliber youB次元官网网址檇 expect from a trio of musical veterans who between them have worked with such blues gentry as the Fabulous ThunderbirdB次元官网网址檚 Kim Wilson, Buddy Guy, Jeff Healey and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Known for not having a bass guitar in the band, Time to Roll is unique in that for the first time theyB次元官网网址檝e added electric bass on most of the songs. The band also recorded one acoustic track for the first time on the new album.

Monkey Junk have been nominated three times for Juno Awards, winning Blues Album of the Year twice for CDs Time To Roll (2018) and To Behold (2012). Monkey Junk has also won 21 Maple Blues Awards, two Canadian Independent Music Awards and a Blues Music Award (USA) in 2010 for best new artist debut Tiger In Your Tank.

The name MonkeyJunk comes from Son House, who once said: B次元官网网址業B次元官网网址檓 talking about the blues, I ainB次元官网网址檛 talking B次元官网网址檅out no monkeyjunk.B次元官网网址�

Formed in Ottawa in 2008, this year the band celebrates a decade together.

Tickets are available at LyleB次元官网网址檚 Place and the front desk of VictoriaB次元官网网址檚 Red Lion Hotel.
