bluessmyth piles on the publicity for national tour!
(December 2, 2009) bluessmyth has wrapped up its 2009 / 2010 national tour. Along the way, the band picked up a pile of publicity secured by Sound Strategy Music. In addition to dozens of radio and television interviews at commericial and public media outlets across the country, the band also attracted significant coverage in mainstream and independent publications. We’ve listed just a few below:

However, we didn’t stop there. We also got the band media coverage internationally – including a killer review of the band’s latest CD “Sola Gratia” in Blues Matters Magazine in England – a publication that has over a million hits to its site every month!. Have a read:

That’s Bluessmyth, not blacksmith, despite their self description as a “symbolic forging and fusion of the roots of Blues
music with heavy, metallic overtones.” Quite heavy, but this is a
very handsome Canadian-three piece – indeed, some of their
PR shots could equally be for a city ad agency. Let’s say there
have been uglier rock bands, but that’s being flippant - they
can’t help their chiselled good looks (and in the case of drummer
Celene Yohemas, statuesque resplendence).
Forget the
style; look at the substance,
because they sound much
dirtier than they look, with
some of Chris Yaholkoski’s
dishevelled guitar licks really
igniting this consistently
strong third album. It all
opens up with the unyielding‘Down On My Luck’,
which instantly shows you
that Yaholkoski has a
robust, grimy Blues vocal
which many in the business would kill for – a revved up Paul
Weller.
The rhythm section of Jason Yaholkoski and Yohemas is
tight, and a perfect compliment. By the time we get to show
stealer ‘Rosemary’s Blues’, their credentials are safely established.
There are some cracking harmonicas, and even a
Hammond organ in there to add to the depth and balance. The
only black mark is that there are only eight tracks, although
they are eight corkers. So, not just pretty faces.
