by Topfueler on 2018-11-27Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - TorontoWhen we get to hear and see Joey B. perform, this show our 4th in Toronto, you stare in awe at such a wizard of his artistry. We are pretty sure the hair on the back of your neck will stand straight up! He grabs you by the ears and mesmerizes you into submission. The Wizard laid down some super tasty, and nasty blues-laden rock on this night. With a band playing behind him that has a big league pedigree, Joey put on a virtual guitar clinic. This show was all about STYLE. Whether it's Joe's incredible guitar techniques and style, the way the band just gelled, or Joe's fashion style, it was full marks all around for this one. Vintage guitars and amps on parade. The guy can wail! Lightning fast fingers flying up and down the fretboards as he made those guitars sing for us. His backup ,BIG SOUND all the way from two aussie back-up singers Jade MacRae and Mahalia Barnes, Wynans hammering the organs, played with StevieRay, drummer Anton Fig (Letterman Band),Rhodes on bass,brass horn section Cerra on sax( Stevie Wonder, Billy Preston and Lee Thornburg (Supertramp, Tower of Power) on trumpet.
