RENOVATION BLUES BAND
Welcome...
We're rockin', jumpin', & swingin'...
Renovation Blues Band hails from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, and has been together since 2007. After 18 years of passionate festival & club appearances they have released their new studio album.
Nail It! (the band’s 3rd release) features 16 electric and robust performances with 7 original songs, including tributes to 3 of the bands favourites: Kim Wilson, Tiny Bradshaw, and Memphis Slim.
The album features new takes on jump blues rhythms, lots of swingin’ guitar, piano, organ, and sax solos, and some more rocking material, blended together in the RBB cauldron. This is some entertaining & killer-diller material!
Produced by the band and recorded at Sean’s Lo-Speed Studio with vintage instruments and amplifiers from the 50s & 60s, the release embodies a strong sense of dedication and fun.
SPECIAL GUESTS: Darcy Phillips throughout on piano and organ, Gene Hardy (from Toronto) on bari & tenor sax, and Morgan Rennef Onda (tenor sax). A jump blues instrumental (Thumbs-Up Jump) includes local favourites Mike Mallon (harp), Annie Mallon (guitar), and Dan Dube (piano).

We are fortunate to have been featured several times at the Nanaimo Summertime Blues, Vancouver Island Blues Bash, Cowichan Exhibition, and other fine events, including many cozy venues near you! Check out Live Gigs page for upcoming shows.
The first single from Nail It! is "Top Gear"... a tribute to old-school racing and the love of black & white films.
