James Armstrong is performing in Quebec and Ontario the week of
February 13th with stops at the T-Rex Smokehouse in Ottawa February 15, The
Legendary Red Dog in Peterborough February 16th, Poor Folks Deli in Brantford
for a Saturday matinee on February 17, and at the Silver Dollar Room, Toronto
on Saturday night February 17. His new CD release Got It Goin' On (HighTone)
with soulful vocals and great tone, control, and slide work on guitar, more
than compensates for the loss in hand speed after he was attacked during a
home invasion in 1997, leaving him near death and with his once lightening
fast left hand temporarily paralyzed. Website: www.jarmblues.com.
