Black ‘N Blue @ The Rockpile (Toronto, ON) on July 22, 2017 [Photos & Show Review]

Toronto got a treat last Saturday night with an epic performance by Oregon rockers Black ‘N Blue. It’s difficult to fathom, but this was their first-ever concert in Canada.

Black N Blue, who have been around since the ’80s, absolutely assaulted our senses with light and sound. Wailing guitar solos, a drum beat and bass line that tickled your rib cage, and so many hard rocking fans that The Rockpile formed it’s own mini tropical climate inside.

At one point during their show, guitarist Bob Capka even made a remark to singer Jaime St. James, that these guys (meaning us) kick ass!!! Welcome to Toronto! I really hope it doesn’t take another 30 years until Black ‘N Blue make it back.
