The Blues Parlour

Well folks, here it is! After five interesting, and occasionally trying years, we have finally put our first CD together.

After a few personnel changes in the rhythm section, I believe we have found a mix that works.

Playing the clubs and private parties around Simcoe County has been enjoyable and we still plan to continue, but we felt it was time to start writing our own material and discover just who Blues Parlour is.

This compilation is a blend of four cover tunes that we always got a kick out of playing live, and seven original pieces that sort of defines the band and hopefully paves the way for future projects (we're already working on material for the next CD!)

Hope you enjoy this one.
