Big Hank & The Smokin' Hot Toasters

The Smokin’ Hot Toasters, led by vocalist Big Hank Lionhart (Uncle Wiggly’s Hot Shoes Blues Band), hits the Harbour Blues ‘n Roots Festival outdoor stage with red-hot rhythm and blues. With a history that goes back to the halcyon days of the Western Canadian roots music scene of the eighties, The Smokin’ Hot Toasters were a force that could often be found working great venues like the Commodore Ballroom and kicking off shows that found them on bills with legends like The Neville Brothers, Koko Taylor, and John Mayall. With a distinctive, groove-saturated sound uniquely their own, this festival favourite returns once more to make you dance! Steve Cross guitar, Mick Woodhouse bass, Steve Ranta keyboards, Dave Emery drums, Jonnie Bridgeman saxophone
