As the saying goes, back by popular demand MONKEYJUNK! No wonder, virtuoso's, veterans and a total of 30 music awards with a large fan base across the country including Dan Aykroyd of The Blues Brothers. MonkeyJunk is one of our favourite bands to present, always happy to play, always happy to blow your mind.
Since 2008, the name MonkeyJunk has been synonymous with the emergence of a new kind of blues on the Canadian and international scenes. Continually pushing boundaries and blurring genre lines, the Ottawa-based trio has added an edge to their music by incorporating swampy blues & rock with thoughtful and intelligent lyrics.
MonkeyJunk is Tony D on lead guitar, Steve Marriner on lead vocals/baritone guitar/harmonica and Matt Sobb on drums. The band has released 5 full-length albums plus a single and are poised to release new music in 2026 - after celebrating 18 years as a band.
As some of the hardest working musicians on the scene today, these Canadian ambassadors of blues/rock are constantly working to up their game in terms of songwriting and musicianship, on record and especially live! 23 Maple Blues Awards, 2 Indy Awards, 1 USA Blues Music Award, 2 JUNO Awards!
