The Queen Bees at the Canada's Walk of Fame "Rock the Walk"

Last night, I played at the Mod Club for the Canada's Walk of Fame "Rock the Walk". With my band "The Queen Bees", we backed Paul Shaffer, Donnie Walsh and Chuck Jackson (Downchild Blues Band), Haydain Neale (Jacksoul), Gerald Eaton aka Jarvis Church (The Philosopher Kings), Robbie Lane and Glenn Hill (Robbie Lane and the Disciples), Roy Kenner (Bush; Mandala), Tom Wilson (Junkhouse; Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Divine Brown, Molly Johnson, Serena Ryder, Denzal Sinclair, and emcee Steve Anthony. The whole thing was produced by the amazing Denise Donlon.

Photos: 1) Haydain Neale and me. 2) Walk of Fame inductee Brendan Fraser and me. 3) Rising star Liam Titcomb and me. 4) Denise Donlon and me. 5) Steve Anthony and me. 6) Denzal Sinclair and me. 7, 8, 9, 10) Various shots with Paul Shaffer 11) At rehearsal with Denise Donlon behind me.

There were lots of cameras there, so hopefully there'll be more shots surfacing for me to post.

You can read an article about this event in the June 1st edition of the Hamilton Spectator here.
They also asked me to write this for their online edition. It's a personal account of the evening.
