Ian McLagan & the Bump Band Spiritual Boy
This is an appreciation of Ronnie Lane, and released on what would have been his 60th birthday, April 1st, 2006, it's my tribute to a wonderful songwriter, bass player and dear friend.
IAN MCLAGAN
A member of Small Faces, which became Faces when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood joined the band, Ian ‘Mac’ McLagan is a rock’n’roll icon.
Mac co-wrote many Faces hits, including “Cindy Incidentally,” “You’re So Rude,” “Borstal Boys” and “Three Button hand Me Down.” His distinctive Wurlitzer electric piano can be heard on the Faces “Stay With Me” and the Rolling Stones’ smash “Miss You.” It was Mac’s trademark B3 you heard on Small Faces’ “Itchycoo Park,” Rod Stewart’s “Maggie May” and “You Wear It Well” among many others.
Aside from his brilliant work touring and recording with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, David Lindley, Paul Westerberg, John Hiatt, Taj Mahal, Billy Bragg and Patty Griffin, Mac has released five critically acclaimed solo albums, highlighting his career as a singer-songwriter and an artist in his own right: Troublemaker, Bump In The Night, Last Chance To Dance, Best Of British & Rise & Shine!

Greg Hobbs
Drake Motel
Folk-rock-pop with a country tinge.
Greg Hobbs is a Toronto singer-songwriter whose carefully-crafted lyrics and reflexive music bring a fresh perspective to the folk-rock-pop genre.
In April of '94, Hobbs recorded his debut solo CD, Under Your Feet. This self-produced project showcased Hobbs' intricate acoustic guitar work and poetic sensibility.
In the summer of '96, Hobbs wrote and performed music for the run of Anarchy and the Dalmatian, a play by Ottawa playwright Alan Neal. He then played with acclaimed Ottawa band Hennessey until moving to Toronto in the Spring of '97.
In 1999, Hobbs released Confused and Bleeding. Produced by John Switzer (Jane Siberry, The Waltons), the disc is a combination of wistful ballads and rollicking 70s style folk-rock.
For the past two years Hobbs has been playing around Toronto, where he was named one of the "local must sees" by the Toronto Star.
His latest release is called Drake Motel. It's a country-tinged folk-rock-pop album of bar room philosophy.
