The Legendary Downchild Blues Band are celebrating their 55th Anniversary this year and are bringing the party to the Light House Arts Centre in Halifax on Thursday, July 25, with special guests. 

After 19 albums, countless awards, and hundreds of sold-out shows around the world, Downchild still find it a thrill every time they hit the stage and share their love of the blues with fans. The music invigorates them.

Downchild came to international prominence as the inspiration for Hollywood stars Dan Aykroyd and the late John Belushi’s hit film, The Blues Brothers. In fact, two Downchild songs, “Shotgun Blues” and “I Got Everything I Need (Almost),” were even covered on The Blues Brothers’ 1978 multi-platinum album Briefcase Full of Blues.

Leader and co-founder, Donnie Walsh was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019, alongside some of the greatest songwriters of our time, like Leonard Cohen, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

Downchild continues to be led by Donnie “Mr. Downchild” Walsh on guitar and harmonica, singer Chuck Jackson, who also plays harmonica, tenor sax man Pat Carey, Gary Kendall on bass, drummer Jim Casson, and Tyler Yarema on keyboards.

With their signature jump-blues style and infectious, soulful sound, Juno Award winners Downchild deliver a live performance that is second to none and guaranteed to get your toes tapping and your hips a swinging!
