A revitalized edition of The Smokin’ Hot Toasters, led by Big Hank Lionhart (Uncle Wiggly's Hot Shoes Blues Band) are set to hit the stage at the Inlet Theatre on January 25 bringing to you an evening of red-hot rhythm and blues.
With a history that goes back to the halcyon days of the Western Canadian roots music scene of the eighties, The Smokin’ Hot Toasters were a force that could often be found working great venues like the Commodore Ballroom and kicking off shows that found them on bills with legends like The Neville Brothers, Koko Taylor and John Mayall.
The Smokin’ Hot Toasters brought a package of impressive playing and singing to clubs, cabarets, theatres and festivals and after reforming in 2014, the band discovered they could easily access the energy and chemistry that originally fueled their material and performances in the eighties, and soon after realized audiences wanted hear that distinctive Smokin’ Hot Toasters sound again.
That groove saturated sound has once again been front and centre at many venues and on the festival circuit in BC and Alberta including at The Edmonton International Blues Festival, The Nanaimo Blues Festival, Beaumont Roots n Blues Festival, Calgary International Blues Festival, the Victoria Inner Harbour Blues Festival, Island’s Folkfest in Duncan BC and Butchart Gardens concert series as fans love the sound of the band that is spearheaded by the band’s co-founders, vocalist Big Hank Lionhart and guitarist Steve Cross.
Always focused on keeping the shows fresh, 2025 will find Big Hank and The Smokin’ Hot Toasters stepping into the songbook of Los Lobos and more for their show.
The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. - doors open at 7:00 pm.
