Official channel of the Rock & Blues band "GREENWOOD".
About Me:
Even if brothers Joey and Kim are separated by nearly 8 years, they share a common passion to translate their music on stage and create an electrifying live blues performance.
After seeing rock and blues guitar legend Steve Hill on stage, Joey, then 16 years old, picks up a guitar to never put it down. Eight years later, Greenwood is born with musical influences such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and of course Steve Hill. Barely out of elementary school, Kim starts playing classical guitar at 12 years old, which he enjoys somewhat. However, soon after his 14th birthday he receives his first electric guitar, this time finding his true passion. Influenced by notably Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Toronto's musical prodigy: Philip Sayce, he soon finds his own game and sound.
It's under the watchful eye of his father, that Luc Jr Belisle, starts playing the drums at 4 years old. 23 years later, his experience and feeling are to be envied and his contribution to the band's sound is undeniable!
With his higher musical training and 15 years of experience, bassist Sébastien H.-B. brings maturity to the band's sound. Having played on stages around the world, his stage experience and passionate playfulness contributes to the uniqueness of the band's live performances.
In the summer of 2009, the band tours the province of Quebec playing on various stages. 2009 also marks the studio entrance for the pre-production of the band's first record, quite anticipated on the Blues scene.
At the very beginning of 2010, the band entered the studio to record in a single week their whole debut album: "Green Money". It will hit the stores in May! Discover why Greenwood was nominated for "Best New Band" and "Best Cabaret Performance" at the Lys Blues Awards in 2008 by welcoming them on your festival stage for the 2010 season.
Their sound is pure rockin'blues with a raw edge [...] These guys in my opinion have a very bright future ahead
