Although still relatively young in “blues years,” David Gogo has accomplished much in his career.

So far he has three Juno nominations, was named Musician of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, was twice named Guitarist of the Year at the Maple Blues Awards, and has been bestowed with the CBC Saturday Night Blues, Great Canadian Blues Award for a lifetime contribution to the blues in Canada.

Nine albums have been released under his name and he has been a guest on a number of other artists recordings. Gogo has composed music for television and major motion pictures and his songs have been performed and recorded by various musicians worldwide.

Whether he’s showcasing his blistering guitar licks and soulful vocals during his electric performances or drawing the crowd in with his humour and down-to-earth personality during his acoustic shows, audiences throughout North America, Europe, and Scandinavia can attest to his outstanding talent.

Gogo will feature new songs off his soon-to-be-released album and will be playing them for the first time in a live setting since coming back to Canada from his last European tour.

Advance tickets are $20 at Bop City Records.

The kitchen opens at 5 p.m. and the show starts at 8 this Saturday.

Seats can be reserved by calling 250-702-MILO(6456) or online at .
