ABOUT THE BLUEVOODOO
Since 2000, The BlueVooDoo have played their brand of blues-rock at just about every possible venue in Western Canada and Europe.
The BlueVooDoo have received award nominations from the Toronto Maple Blues Awards in 2003 for Best New Artist and also received nominations for Most Outstanding Blues CD at the 2005 and 2007 Western Canadian Music Awards. They have been recently awarded the Best blues song for 2007 at IAC MUSIC and were nominated at the Blues Critics Awards for their Back to the Shack Album.
After Touring Europe for six weeks in 2006, The Blue Voodoo began retooling their band and spread the word they were looking to grow the group. Ted Tosoff and Rick Dalgarno, the original Voodooheads brought two new faces into the fold by adding Kelly Stodola on Percussion and Gerry Berg on Bass.
ABOUT THE BAND MEMBERS
Ted ' Teddy J' Tosoff -Vocals/Guitars/Voodoo Magic' Old enough to know better, older than I'd wish to share.
Rick 'the devil' Dalgarno - Vocals/Guitar/Voodoo Magic'. Right from my first Beatles record, Sgt.Pepper. There is a weird magic in our voodoo circle
Kelly " The Ogre " Stodola - Drums/Percussion/Voodoo Magic - Upon joining The Blue Voodoo I was encouraged to exercise all of these styles thus giving me great musical freedom and expression .
Gerry Berg-Bass voodoo magic I love the way we bend the rules of the blues and the voodoo music. Having to keep it all in check playing bass is my passion and the guys are world class players.
