Have you heard?  The R & B Conspiracy is back together again.  We had a fab show in July and we’re ready to kick it again this Friday.  Come down to the Fairview on August 13th.   I heard rumours of a strip tease…

Check out Sammy and the boys rockin with special guests, Jesse Tucker on guitar and Jesse Godin on drums.

Come and celebrate all the joys in your life on Saturday, June 4th at the Backstage Lounge! See you there!

Thank you to Jesse, Jesse T, and for all of you who came out despite the Canucks loss!  A great night was had by all!  If you don’t believe me, check out some of the photos on our Flickr link.  There may even have been some girl-on-girl action on stage.  (Isn’t there always?)

Yes, Jesse is back for another show! We are so lucky to have him play once again. Check out this video of the last time he played! You can’t see him, but he sure sounds good. See you all on May 7th!

We are so pleased to feature the amazing Rick Hill at our show at the Fairview Pub on April 8th.  Rick is a local R & B legend.  He started drumming at the age of 10 (right around the time when Al, our keyboard player, met him!) and has been rocking ever since.  He is a veteran of the Vancouver music scene, even co-founding Vancouver’s own “Rhythm & Blues Allstars.”  He has shared the stage with James Brown, War, Chuck Berry, Paul Butterfield Blues band and Long John Baldry.  Wow.  We are ecstatic that he is sharing our stage at the Fairview on April 8th.  Don’t miss it!

Is anyone out there missing Andrew as much as we are?  Thought I’d post a little something out of Andrew’s best moments.  Strip drumming… it’s very hot.

Saw an amazing show at the Venue on Granville last Saturday,  Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.  So hot!  Click on the link below for a taste.

There’s another great show coming this Saturday, Feb 5th too.  It’s at the Backstage Lounge in Granville Island and we’d love to see you there.  Special guest Jesse Godin on the drums!

Our very good friend and former band mate, Jesse Godin is back for our show at the Fairview Pub on Friday, January 21st.   Since his departure from the band, Jesse has become one of the most sought after drummers on the Canadian music scene playing with the likes of recording artists Jesse Farrell, Aaron Pritchett, Johnny Reid, Sugarland, Alan Jackson, and Brooks & Dunn, just to name a few.  We are so lucky to have him!  You won’t want to miss this show! 

Our beloved Andrew is off to Europe for a while to find his fame, fortune, and perhaps even some fun.    Andrew has been a dedicated, enthusiastic, and most of all funky member of the R & B Conspiracy for a while now and we are truly going to miss him.  We will be looking for a replacement for him while he’s away, but it’s going to be difficult to fill such large, large shoes!  Andrew, best of luck and don’t do anything we wouldn’t do – which doesn’t leave a lot!

PS. If anyone has video or photos of Andrew without his shirt on at the last show, I’d love to post them!  I still can’t believe he successfully stripped while playing!  Impressive!
