History

Downchild Blues Band play hard-swinging Chicago-style blues with horns, harmonica and a barroom sense of fun, and they have long been described as the premier blues band in Canada. The group was formed in Toronto in 1969 by brothers Donnie Walsh, known as Mr. Downchild, on guitar and harmonica, and Richard "Hock" Walsh on vocals. The name comes from a song by Sonny Boy Williamson II. Their version of "Flip, Flop and Fly", released in 1973, became their signature song and their one real chart hit at home. The band reached a much wider audience in 1978, when the Blues Brothers recorded three songs from their repertoire on Briefcase Full of Blues, and Dan Aykroyd is said to have drawn on the Walsh brothers when shaping the Blues Brothers characters. Donnie Walsh kept the band going through many lineup changes, and Can You Hear the Music won the Juno Award for Blues Album of the Year in 2014. Their trademarks are tight horn riffs, driving shuffles, blues harp and good-humoured songs about drinking and trouble.
