Here are some glimpses of life on stage and on the road
for some of JMI's artists, past and present.

Guy and Fab on the Red Carpet at the Grammys

Guy Davis and his sometimes musical partner Fabrizio Poggi were nominated for the best trad blues recording (Sonny & Brownie's Last Train) at this year's Grammy Awards. Competition was very tough, with artists like Elvin Bishop and Eric Bibb in the running, but in the end the award went to some upstart band called The Rolling Stones. No worries – as far as we are concerned, no one out there is doing more than Guy to keep traditional blues alive.

JMI's Oysterband and Moulettes took part in a workshop at the 2016 Calgary Folk Festival called, The British Are Coming! They managed to corral everyone long enough to get this great photo. That's a pile of talent.

Coig's Darren McMullen and Rachel Davis recently auditioned a new vocalist while performing at Dollywood in Tennessee. No word yet as to whether she will be joining the band.

JMI's Shane Howard played the massive Port Fairy festival in Australia this month (March, 2016.) Here he is with a few friends; Steve Earle, Mary Black and festival director, Jamie McKew.

The Day Mick Came to Town It's hard to believe that twelve years have passed since we booked a Canadian tour for former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor, but it was August of 2003. Mick was great, easy going and fun to hang out with for the four days he was here in Charlottetown, PEI. He even posed for some photos with my kids, who went a rehearsal at Myron's Cabaret, where the show would eventually take place. In more recent times, Mick has been back on the road with his old band mates, Keith and that other Mick guy. Live performance photos courtesy of Peter Richard of The Buzz.

Oysterband!

June Tabor & Oysterband swept the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards at The Lowry, Salford, UK, 8th Feb 2012. June Tabor took Folk Singer of the Year, and shared three others, Best Album, Best Group and Best Traditional Track with the Oysters.
