Dave Mowat hails from Alderville First Nation, but took up playing harmonica back in the early 80s after making the jump to Winnipeg. It was there that he eventually met Big Dave McLean and Gord Kidder, two of Winnipeg’s premier blues men and for the next decade there he worked the blues clubs with forays out on the road. Moving back to Alderville where he built his home in 1995 Mowat has continued working in the blues over the years with such musicians as R.L. Burnside, Hubert Sumlin, and sharing the stage with the likes of Big Jack Johnson, Mel Brown, Smokey Wilson, and a number of Canadian greats. Dave’s love of old Mississippi Blues and the post-war recorded Chicago styles of Little Water and Howin Wolf, continues to ground him in this music. Dave’s latest CD release “Crooked Road” is a reflection of that love for the old styles, and his colleagues on that album in Clayton Yates, Terry Wilkins, Jesse O’Brien, Steve Marriner and Jim Bowskill are a testament to that love of the blues!
