Canadian Blues-Rock Power Trio The Paul DesLauriers Band Release Bounce on May 31
Listen/Share the first single "It's All On You" here
Three years after the 2016 release of their award-winning CD Relentless, Montreal’s The Paul DesLauriers Band is back with their ambitious new album Bounce, set for release on May 31 on Bros Records.
Bounce was recorded during breaks from their extensive 2018 Canadian, US and European tours. The power blues-rock trio laid down 13 new songs with 11 originals and two covers, including the Anthony "Duster" Bennett song “Jumpin' at Shadows” (popularized by Peter Green during his tenure in Fleetwood Mac) and “Picked A Bad Day”, a collaboration recorded with American bluesman JP Soars in Florida.
Deeply anchored in the blues-rock idiom, Bounce is the trio’s most accomplished recording to date, led by the first-rate vocals and guitar of Paul DesLauriers, Sam Harrisson’s precise and masterful drums and newcomer Alec McElcheran on bass. The level of musical chemistry and comradery at work here is undeniable.
The Paul DesLauriers Band will be embarking on tours that will showcase their original brand of blues-rock to audiences in Germany, Switzerland and the US before they get to meet their Canadian fans on summer dates across Canada.
Later in the Fall, the band will play Palais Montcalm in Quebec City (November 21 and 22) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Deep Purple’s Concerto for Group & Orchestra with Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) and L’Orchestre Symphonique de Québec under the direction of Paul Mann.
