As a six-time Maple Blues Award winner, Steve Marriner definitely has enough experience at the podium to serve as host for the event, established 20 years ago by the Toronto Blues Society. Fittingly, Marriner is nominated again this year (2017) in the Best Harmonica Player category, while his band MonkeyJunk is up for Entertainer of the Year and Electric Act of the Year.

But for most of the nominees, the Maple Blues Awards are more about celebrating the ongoing achievements of the Canadian blues community as a whole, and providing a chance for musicians who don’t often cross paths to mingle and jam through its Blues Summit conference held in conjunction with the gala.

It’s something Ottawa native Marriner has certainly enjoyed since he first made his mark on the scene in 2007 with his debut solo album Going Up, followed two years later by MonkeyJunk’s first album, Tiger In Your Tank. The Maple Blues Award recognition has gone a long way to raise Marriner’s status within Canada, which led to MonkeyJunk earning a Juno Award in 2012 and becoming one of the country’s most popular live blues acts. ~Jason Schneider
