FATHEAD is one of the Canada's most popular blues roots acts and it's no wonder, these guys ROCK!!!

Since their debut gig in 1992, FATHEAD, has been tearing it up on the North American festival circuit ever since – winning over new fans every time they play – making FATHEAD one of the country's top roots acts.

Signed to the world renowned ELECTRO-FI RECORDS' imprint, the band has won two JUNO AWARDS (Canada's "GRAMMY") for "Blues Recording Of The Year". Their latest release is called "WHERE'S THE BLUES TAKING ME", (available February 2010).

That they have been described as a Blues Tour De Force comes as no surprise. Georgia-raised lead singer JOHN MAYS has had a storied career that began in the Southern gospel tradition, crossing over into Doo-Wop, R&B and Blues, not to mention a stint with the Godfather Of Soul JAMES BROWN.

Hooking up with band leader AL LERMAN (harp and saxophone) in Toronto some years later, FATHEAD's core has remained constant since forming; offering ace musicianship, soul stirring harmonies and incendiary live performances.

The writing tandem of Lerman and bassist OMAR TUNNOCH has produced a large body of work that has enjoyed time on the US, European and Canadian music charts. Guitar ace TEDDY LEONARD and iconic drummer BUCKY BERGER round out FATHEAD's sound, infusing elements of funk, soul, and R&B into their strong blues backbone.

FATHEAD is truly an original band with a sound immediately recognizable as their own. They have a ball wherever they play and it shows!  Audiences LOVE THEM!
