Jack de Keyzer, one of Canada’s greatest blues guitarists, lights up the stage with his powerhouse band. A 2-time Juno and 7-time Maple Blues Award winner, de Keyzer delivers electrifying performances that span his award-winning catalogue and timeless blues, rock, and soul classics. With a sound rooted in Chicago blues, British blues rock, and Southern soul, his playing is both masterful and deeply authentic—shaped by years performing alongside legends like Bo Diddley, Otis Rush, and Etta James.

"One of the premier guitarists in Canada" • Hamilton Spectator

“Electric Love…a rock blues album with nods to guitar influences Clapton, Hendrix and Page… a disc of excellent new songs by a bluesman who should be considered their equal" • John Valenteyn, Maple Blues Magazine, Toronto

"Smoking ...wicked...de Keyzer's track record of being one of Canada's best guitarists is NOT hype!" John Emms Timmins Daily Press
