THUNDER BAY – When you’re a legend like Randy Bachman, you can pretty much do what you want when you hit the stage.

He’s earned that right.

A founding member of the Guess Who and a driving force behind Bachman Turner Overdrive, the Winnipeg rocker has been entertaining crowds around the world for nearly 60 years.

On Sunday it was Thunder Bay’s turn.

Bachman, 73, delivered a hit-filled 90-minute ride that sent the record-setting Blues Festival home begging for more.

From the opening notes of BTO’s classic Roll on Down the Highway until the music faded on the rock anthem Taking Care of Business, Bachman clearly proved age is just a state of mind.

With the help of his backing band, Bachman delivered a classic-rock hit machine, including Guess Who favourites like No Sugar Tonight, These Eyes and American Woman – which also featured a take on Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love.

BTO favourites Lookin’ Out for No. 1, Let it Ride and a Hey You medley that wove in classic rock staples like AC/DC’s You Shook Me All Night Long, Steve Miller’s Rock’n Me, Rod Stewart’s Hot Legs and the Troggs’ Wild Thing had the crowd lapping up the show, singing along into the Thunder Bay night.

A year after former Guess Who partner Burton Cummings closed out the 2016 Blues Festival, Bachman was the perfect end to a near perfect weekend.

The day began with a pair of local bands, Driven and Dr Buck and the Bluesbangers, who eased the audience into Day 3 and got the blues juices flowing as people began settling into their seats for the day.

Highly rated Jerome Godboo didn’t disappoint, leading into the blues offerings of the 24th Street Wailers and the manic guitar work that Anthony Gomes has become famous for over the years, including previous visits to the Blues Festival.

They turned the stage over to a pair of rockers, Wide Mouth Mason getting funky with covers of Prince’s Raspberry Beret and David Bowie’s Modern love among their repertoire.

Big Sugar took over, launched into Diggin’ a Hole, worked their way to If I Had My Way and didn’t look back.

When all was said and done, organizers had pulled off the most successful Thunder Bay Blues Festival yet, an effort worth another round of applause.

WMM can’t wait for hometown club show

 BY CAM FULLER, THE STARPHOENIX September 23, 2014

In a convenient twist of reverse engineering, it’s Wide Mouth Mason’s 2009 album that is setting the tone for how the band is charting its future sound.

Live at Montreux captured the band sizzling in jam mode at the legendary jazz festival, with expansive solos and improvisations. The same approach informed Wide Mouth Mason’s No Bad Days album.

“It was very much a rock format but with a jazz philosophy to it where the framework of the song would be a suggestion,” guitarist Shaun Verreault said recently.

“The songs on No Bad Days are meant to be elastic, so a lot of that can come out.”

The band likes to keep things fluid in its live show. If something from a song they were listening to on the way to a gig sticks, it could well end up as a reference in the middle of their set – surprising each other as much as the audience.

“We call it the shapes we’re throwing each other,” says Verreault. “There’s a little bit of trying to raise eyebrows that you haven’t raised before.”

Verreault admits wondering if the band would remain viable after he and drummer Safwan Javed parted ways with original bassist Earl Pereira and added Gordie Johnson from Big Sugar. But the evolution continues. When Wide Mouth and Big Sugar are on the same bill, they become Big and Wide, with as many as eight players on stage.

Verreault keeps busy in music producing other artists, writing songs with and for other acts and collaborating coast-to-coast from Vancouver with Newfoundland musician Chris Kirby via Skype.

“It makes it so we have a lot of different things to draw on when we get together to play and get together to write.”

Verreault is looking forward to the homecoming and doing a classic Saskatoon club show, its first at the Capitol Music Club.

“I try and get back as much as I can. A bunch of my family is still there.”

He likens it to looking through the window of your elementary school, literally or metaphorically.

And speaking of family, Verreault’s two-year-old daughter Layla seems to have inherited some musical DNA. She already has her own pink Stratocaster, but she really likes playing with her dad’s guitar. Recently, she plugged it into an amp on full blast and, in Verreault’s words, “just railed it.” He thought she’d be scared and crying. Instead, “she was jumping up and down, smiling, and going ‘loud!’”

Playing the blue. 
Hung with @christopher_edmonstone and his camera on the weekend and the light was just right. There’s a little black spot on the sun today... Though I’m sliding around here on the Mule, I was gonna try and submit it on a technicality for Tele Tuesday - Andy Summers’ work in The Police was often so teletastic - but I think by Synchronicity he’d mainly switched to his 61 Strat. 
So here, apropos of nothing but this meandering preamble, is a random snippet of police work. Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell... a) How wonderful is Terence Trent D’Arby / Sananda Maitreya? 
I wish I could hear him sing live sometime. 
b) How wonderful are @charliehunter67 and @misslucywoodward ? 
I DID get to hear them perform at NAMM last year, and it blew my freaking mind. 
The musicality, the groove, the note choices, the things they chose to do and not to do... and the song choices were surprising and excellent. 
Lucy sings as well as Charlie plays. Think about what that entails, people. Charlie is an alien from planet awesome. And so is Lucy. 
They’re playing St. James Hall in Vancouver tomorrow - with a set list that’ll likely include this here song - and if you’ve not seen/heard, you really, really should. Time travel Tuesday: 
If’n you wanna see where it all started, head on over to the Wide Mouth Mason Facebook page featuring a link to this 1996 mini-documentary. 
Come for the Eddie Vedder does acid with Chris Robinson in a craft tent at folk fest fashion (could they have asked me to wear a bigger shirt? Is there even a bigger shirt than that?) stay for the performances I actually still dig all these years (23?) later. Didn’t have any metal flake handy, but this - from my daughter’s stash of craft supplies - will do nicely.
