Release of Hock's Groovin' Bar Café
Released June 2019
“Hock's Groovin' Bar Cafe.” (Rick “Hock” Walsh) the original singer of Downchild Blues Band was a character and a half. He had such a laid-back feel to his performance.
I had the pleasure of backing him up in several musical combinations. Whenever he was in doubt about what song to do next he would lean back and call out "Hock's Groove"! I love the bass line and had to write a song around it. The lyrics bring back the Al Grossman era of G'man's and members of the original Downchild Blues Band.
Chris Flannigan, Drums;
Mike McDonald, Bass, Guitar, Vocals;
John Lee, Piano; Jordan Patterson, Harmonica.
...“ Titled, "Play This," each song has a story from a specific time and place, from "Hock's Groovin' Bar Café," for Rick "Hock" Walsh from Downchild to "Whistle Blowin' “;
a co-write featuring old Grossman's pal Gerald McAdam.”... an excerpt from July 28, 2017 by Coral Andrews for the Waterloo Region Record
