"You might expect an album with edgy, teal-lit cover art and the title of The Isolation Blues, by the Mike Goudreau Band, to be either dark and brooding or a real barroom stomper, showcasing the loudest guitar you’ve heard since Jimi Hendrix’s. Instead, from the first notes, you’ll find it’s a peppy ensemble extravaganza with horns galore. More’s the better, too – the Winter Solstice is coming up, and we need an eye-opening blast of sunshine in the middle of it. Smooth, jazzy-influenced, and boasting crystal-clear vocals, it’s a must-play on New Year’s Eve. Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont, into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn’t stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild – to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. Since 2007, Mike’s songs have been heard on hundreds of network TV shows and films, such as the TV movie The Happiest Season (Hulu), Dynasty (CBS), the Universal Pictures film Dark Waters, the Hollywood film The Banker, starring Samuel Jackson (2020), The Neighborhood (CBS), NCIS Los Angeles (CBS), and Chicago PD (NBC), among several others. Joining Mr. Goudreau (vocals, guitars, bass and hand claps) are Jean-Francois Begin (think Menachem Begin, not “begin”) on drums and percussion, Dany Roy on tenor sax and trumpet, Ira Friedman on organ and piano, and Pascal Veilette on harmonica. You know all the shows and films mentioned earlier? Together, they spell diamond-level QUALITY. That’s what’s been poured into each of the fourteen original tracks on this CD. Every note, every musical phrase, glimmers like the light off one of that gem’s many facets. This is real-deal blues, whether in swing/jump form (as on the opener “Let’s Go Down to the River”), the angsty, harmonica-infused title track, the guitar and piano boogie known as “The Mooch,” or the laid-back instrumental “Sea Breeze Blues.” Any band can crank out an album in their garage or basement and deem it good enough, but not Goudreau and his posse. They care about their offerings like Michelangelo cared about David, or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa. That’s because they’re not just musicians. Not just craftsmen. They’re artists, and don’t you forget it. Got The Isolation Blues? Here’s the cure, or at least the vaccine! "

"Andy came and performed for us and we all absolutely loved it. During the daytime he delivers a lovely, relaxed jazzy set and in the evening had everyone up dancing to the classic hits of Sinatra etc. All of my guests commented on how brilliant he was and I’d recommend him 100% He was such a nice guy too and went out of his way to accommodate all of our requirements.

"PHIL IS AMAZING!!! From booking, planning the event, discussing playlists to the set up on the day and singing Phil was wonderful! He understood exactly what we wanted and delivered an incredible set on the day. I would 100% recommend Phil to my friends and we had SO many people on the day asking for his contact details and complimenting his music. He sang chilled acoustic for us (ed Sheeran etc) and it was perfect. Thanks again Phil!!!"

"We booked Blue Moon Jazz Band for our wedding in Tuscany on the 28th August and they were a wonderful addition to it. Raphael was great to communicate with prior to the event and was happy to tailor their services to what we wanted. On the day they were calm and relaxed and took care of everything from their side which was reassuring. The two pieces of music we asked them to learn, for the walk down the aisle and first dance were both beautifully performed. We booked them with their singer Nanà who was so good and her voice was perfect for the environment we were in. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and wish them all the best for the future "

"We loved Raphael and Blue Moon Jazz Trio! We had our wedding in Florence, Italy in Sept 2021 and they were soo wonderful! Raphael was so patient with us trying to select our songs and super accommodating. It took a while for us to decide and they very understanding. They were on-time and reliable. Everything went soo smoothly. We decided to include the sax during dinner and it made it so much more lively during the reception. They were so kind and sweet, and would highly recommend!"

The music was both tasteful and expertly performed, setting the perfect tone for our celebration. Our guests were thoroughly impressed, and so were we. We highly recommend them for anyone seeking an elegant and memorable musical experience! "

"“Samantha Clayton is a very talented singer-songwriter, with an innate sense of phrasing and authentic delivery of lyrics and story telling. Her unique style of jazz-folk incorporates the richness of jazz harmonies combined with real life ands love stories that are prevalent in folk and country music. What emerges is a truly unique artist whose soulful style and message are heard loud and clearly through her original songs, which are little gems, glowing with the beauty of her splendid vocals.” "
