 Electro-Fi Records proudly announces the powerful new album from the Blackburn Brothers, “SoulFunkn’BLUES”. The Brothers are already multi-award winning heroes in their native Canada, with a legacy that traces back through their acclaimed father, R&B star Bobby Dean Blackburn, and a family history that goes proudly back to the Underground Railroad and an escaped slave who made his way to freedom in the very early 1800s. To any newcomer to the Blackburns’ music, the album is a revelation – relentless, funky driving rhythms, deep and complex layers of vocals and instrumentation that take off from steady rocking groves and fly with abandon before sticking a perfect landing. Lead vocals combine in harmony, alternate conversationally or meld via vocorder with guitar lines and effects, while tightly arranged background vocals and punchy horns work with the keys and guitars in a mix that’s thickly layered yet somehow magically transparent. The songs deliver soulful, uplifting messages of love, freedom, and inspiration. The Blackburn Brothers – Duane (lead vocals, organ, piano, vocorder), Brooke (guitar, bass, background vocals), Cory (drums percussion, background vocals), Robert (guitar, background vocals), and Nathan (bass guitar) – evoke comparison with the great funky, bluesy soul groups of the past, adding their signature touches that make them totally unique. Blackburn Brothers received the Maple Blues Award for BEST NEW BAND in 2010, and a JUNO nomination for BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR in 2016, with numerous award nominations and accolades following.
