She's an artist who describes her original music as "a by product of all my musical influences and life experiences, which is somewhat limitless under that umbrella of Jazz, Blues, Soul, R&B and Reggae". She doesn't merely flirt with musical genre. Robin Banks actually got right into the bed and got dirty under the covers with Blues and Jazz and Reggae. She became intimate with the music and the culture by physically bringing her career to the South, to Texas and to Jamaica for over a decade. She went to "the root of the tree" so as to learn first hand from those artists and musicians who made the music evolve to what it is today. "I just keep it honest. Keep it real. When we write music from the heart about the real things that affect us emotionally, the music defines who we are as artists. Not genre, or geography or certainly the opinions of others." Now living back in Canada, her current bands are extensions and reflections of the past 20 or 30 years of life and musical experience. "My original material is the common thread that runs through the fabric that clothes all of my bands." All of her bands? Hmm, what might that mean? Robin Banks will be joined by Ken Whiteley on Thursday June 7th as part of the TBS Gladstone Hotel Melody "I'm known as a band leader. First, I have my Bar Blues Series. She will also be performing at Monarchs Pub on Wednesday June 27 as part of the TD Toronto all star Canadian Blues band (of Gary Kendall, Jazz Festival and Friday June 15th (5:30pm) at The Beach BBQ & Brews Festival, Woodbine Park, Coxwell Mike Fitzpatrick, Teddy Leonard and Clayton Ave. & Lakeshore.

    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Naming of a Public Lane south of Hepbourne Street extending easterly from Delaware Avenue Date: May 26, 2017 To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Director, Engineering Support Services Wards: Ward 19 Reference P:\2016\Cluster B\TEC\TE16025 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that the name "Billy Bryans Lane" be approved to identify the public lane south of Hepbourne Street extending easterly from Delaware Avenue. Community Councils have delegated authority to decide street naming matters which comply with the City of Toronto Street Naming Policy. RECOMMENDATIONS Engineering and Construction Services recommends that Toronto and East York Community Council: (1) Approve the name "Billy Bryans Lane" for the public lane south of Hepbourne Street extending easterly from Delaware Avenue. Financial Impact There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of this report.

    Condolence Motion Final Billy Bryans.Docx

    CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Pam McConnell Seconded by: Councillor Adam Vaughan The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Billy Bryans on April 23, 2012. A pioneer of cross-cultural music in Toronto, Billy Bryans was a drummer and producer best known as the co-founder of the politically inflected pop-group The Parachute Club, renowned for its anthemic 1983 hit Rise Up. Billy got his start in Montreal in the 1960s, in a Beatles influenced boy band MG and the Escorts. Billy made his musical breakthrough in Toronto in the 1970s, producing and drumming for jazz and blues bands like Horn, Downchild Blues Band, the Cameo Blues Band, and the Original Sloth Band. Billy became a fixture in Toronto's burgeoning indie music scene in the 1980s, performing at The Cameron, the Horsehoe, Grossmans, the Cabana Room, the El Mocambo, and The Bamboo Club. Billy moved seamlessly among musical genres, including punk, new wave, funk, calypso, latin, reggae, and rock, providing the backbeat for groups such as The Government, The Time Twins, and The BopCats. Performing with Mama Quilla II, he met lead singer, feminist icon, and activist Lorraine Segato. Together in the bands V, Compass, and the Parachute Club, they championed a hybrid sound that cut across gender and race, providing an expansive and enticing soundtrack for a multicultural city finding its voice. During his career, Billy collected four Junos as a performer or producer for such artists as the Afronubians, the Puente Brothers, Buffy Ste Marie, Raffi, George Fox, Alex Cuba, Punjabi by Nature, Morgan Davis, and Laura Fernandez.

    Harpo Records 1535 Dr. M.L. King Jr. Street North St. Petersburg, FL 33704 [email protected] (727) 502-5000 or (727) 515-8444 October 5, 2016 The Backtrack Blues Band, one of Florida's longest running and most accomplished blues bands, is enjoying great success with its new album, “Way Back Home.” Charting at #8 on American Blues Rock Radio and receiving airplay in Europe and Australia, the CD is gaining great recognition for this stellar, authentic blues quintet. Music critics from around the world have given "Way Back Home" exceptional reviews, admiring the band's performances and original songwriting. This project brings excitement and authenticity to the music, demonstrating a deep understanding of the genre, while infusing joy and creativity into the songs. Here are some recent quotes from industry experts, including Elmore Magazine and Blues Music Magazine: It’s about time you all get to know Sonny Charles and the Backtrack Blues Band. The first track of an album can tell you a lot about a band and what to expect from the ten or so songs to come. On Way Back Home, this Tampa, Florida band’s fifth release, we start off with a trip to Eleuthera in the Bahamas (“Goin’ to Eleuthera”) — and if “beach blanket blues” is a genre, this is the band who originated it. This is a blues band for sure, but some uptempo jazz and a bit of classic swing come through here as well. Whether you’re relaxing by the ocean in Ft. Lauderdale (where this album was mastered) or throwing back some happy hour specials at a dirt road bar, Way Back Home should be you day’s soundtrack.
