The Stephen Barry Band has long been established as one of Canada's finest blues and folk-blues ensembles. Stephen Barry has assembled some of the city's best blues musicians and they have been performing steadily for the last forty years. The Stephen Barry Band has performed on every blues stage in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes and taken their show further abroad, performing both in Europe and South America.

In 1996, the band was awarded the best Blues Band in Canada at the Jazz Report Awards, as their record "Happy Man" was voted the best recording at the same ceremony. In 2001, Stephen Barry was voted Bass Player of the Year by the Toronto Blues Society. Stephen Barry has also been honored at the Lys Blues 2004 in recognition of the contribution he has made to the Quebec Blues scene over his 35-year career.

The band's repertoire encompasses a variety of styles ranging from folk-blues to swing to modern electric blues, and is further complimented by their original material. The band also offers a show entitled "The Blues Anthology", tracing the history of the blues from turn of the century acoustic blues through to the electric sounds of the 40's, 50's and 60's.

Over the years the Stephen Barry Band has had the privilege of performing with such blues legends as John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Big Mama Thornton; as well as legendary blues/R&B artist Harry Vann "Piano Man" Walls, in concert and on his final release "In the Evening".

Personnel: Stephen Barry (bass, vocals); Michael Jerome Browne (guitars, vocals); Andrew Cowan (guitars, vocals); John McColgan (drums); Martin Boodman (harmonica); Robert David (saxophone).
