Award Winning Blues from Toronto Canada!
About Me:
 
Raoul and The Big Time is one of the most highly regarded and awarded young blues acts in Canada. Since forming in the summer of 1998 they have released two records to critical acclaim - BIG TIME BLUES and COLD OUTSIDE. They have performed as part of many major festivals having opened for the likes of Bobby Blue Bland, The Downchild Blues Band, Junior Watson, Big Dave Mclean and many more. ................................................................................................................................ In 2004 they released their second recording, the critically acclaimed COLD OUTSIDE, featuring guest appearances by American legends Junior Watson, Mark Hummel and Big Joe Maher along with up and coming Canadians Graham Guest, John Showman and Kevin Quain. Since forming in the summer of 1998 they have been awarded numerous Maple Blues and Real Blues Awards. BABY DONT STOP, their second video was in the TOP 10 on the BRAVO Video Chart. They have performed on CANADA AM (CTV), STUDIO 2 (TVO) and also appeared on METROPIA (Omni). Radio appearances include Open House Ontario (CBC Radio One), where they performed live in the Glen Gould Theatre and Raoul is a regular guest of Danny Marks on BLUZ FM 91.1 Toronto. They have been featured and reviewed in print articles in The Toronto Star, The London Free Press, The Ottawa Citizen, The Ottawa Sun, The Globe and Mail, Now Magazine, Real Blues Magazine, Blues Revue and many more. ........................................................................................................................... What the critics are saying about COLD OUTSIDE ....................................................................................................................... Recorded in Toronto, Raoul and The Big Times COLD OUTSIDE (Big Time 002) is an easy-swinging winner featuring guests Mark Hummel and Junior Watson. Raoul Bhaneja, the singer, harpist, guitarist, and producer, whips up a nice blend of swing, jump-blues (the firey title track) and slow, stripped-down instrumentals. Hot stuff-Jeff Calvin, Blues Revue Feb/March 2005 ........................................................................................................................... ***** The more I listen to it, the more I like it. So, now its your turn. Believe me, Raoul is already up there with the masters of the blues-Blues & Co magazine: Number 28. (FRANCE). ................................................................................................................................ 9 out of 10! Raoul has a natural, character filled blues voice with a harp style to match, whether wailing the blues on the 50s styled boogie Otherside Of Town, or laying down a mellow late night groove on Cold Outside, with its haunting harp, desolate vocals, tantalizing guitar licks and atmospheric backing harmonies.-Mick Rainsford- Blues in Britain. ............................................................................................................................. Unquestionably one of the finest releases, indie or otherwise, to come down the pipe in a while, this one gets my highest recommendation. Miss it at your peril! -John R. Taylor- Blues on Stage/MNBLUES.com............................................... ................................................................................................................................
