September 2023 – The Blackburn Brothers
Published September 1, 2023 in John's Blues Picks
The Toronto music scene has been enriched by members of the Blackburn family for over five decades, beginning with veteran R&B artist and family patriarch Bobby Dean Blackburn. He has passed the torch onto a younger generation, and it is now burning bright in the form of The Blackburn Brothers, comprised of his sons Duane (lead vocals, organ, piano), Brooke (guitar, vocals), Cory (drums, harmony vocals), and Robert (guitar, harmony vocals).
