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.
From the humble beginnings of recording their first Ep on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s - using a dilapidated 1965 Chevy Nova as an isolation booth - to playing a by invitation only event with Jeff Beck in California for Gretsch Guitars, you can say that Cousin Harley has come a long way.
Together for almost 20 years, this powerful little trio has been setting stages on fire around the world and have been feature performers at musical gatherings from Las Vegas to Byron Bay.
Always a festival favourite, they can explode like a active volcano, swing like the Basie band and holler like lonesome hillbilly in the back woods of the Appalachia all in a single show. They have performed with such greats as Bill Kirchen (Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen), James Burton (Elvis Presley) and Albert Lee (Emmylou Harris), Brian Setzer and the list goes on and on.
The Cousin Harley sound is unique in a genre that can some times be pigeonholed as being “traditional” or “Nostalgic”. They consistently breath new life into
mid century North American music and genre smash everything from Gypsy Jazz infused Be Bop to shredding rock guitar!! This has achieved them a cult like following and have been featured in multiple music magazines around the world as one of the best virtuosic trios around. Not to be trifled with and not to be missed!!!!

This bilingual (French/English) Vancouver quintet draws on Jazz, Brazilian Sambas, French Chanson and Cabaret music to concoct its own unique sound: gorgeous melodies, quirky lyrics, incredible groove and sky-high improvisations.
With four critically acclaimed Cds and festival appearances all over Canada (including the Vancouver and Montreal Jazz Festivals), they have become CBC favourites, selected first as the subject of a one-hour long documentary and more recently as one of four Western bands featured on television, radio and the web, in the popular “Mai de la chanson d’ici”.
The band has just released their 4th album, “Bien ensemble” on the label Cellar Music (Cory Weeds, Vancouver), on March 29, 2024. French CBC has also done a 20 year retrospective in the form of a short documentary about the band (“Le bonheur, chanté par Mimosa”)
The band is made up of Rebecca Shoichet, vocals, Anna Lumiere (piano and accordion), Karen Graves (sax, flute and vocals), Conrad Good (bass) and Bernie Arai (drums). Although every member of Mimosa is also active on the Canadian music scene in many other groups, the band is celebrating its 25th year anniversary in 2024 and has developed a unique performance that will take you on an unforgettable journey into time and sound.
