biographical info
Formed in 1993 with only three brothers Darren, James, "Cheezz", and
started playing regularly in local night clubs. As younger brothers
became good enough to perform in the band they were tossed in the mix.
Local club gigs later gained larger festival gigs and opening for more
accomplished artists. After many hard blues nights, and having only a
handful of original material, The Wolfpack performed on a national
talent search held by APTN. Winning the grand prize of the opportunity
to perform in the 2003 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards show was just
enough incentive to produce an original album. This debut album
consisted of songs written over the years and songs written during the
recording sessions entitled "Every lil' Thing". After scratching the
album together to submit to the CAMA's, and performing in the show,
"Every lil' Thing" was awarded "Best Blues Album" of 2003 (The year of
the Blues). The next year The Wolf Pack was awarded Best Group or Duo
at the CAMA's. They have appeared with Tom Jackson on his Kanata
project, airing Sept 2005. Kitchener Blues, Brews and BBQ's, Planet
Indigenous, and a tribute show for Canada's Queen of Jazz and blues,
Salome Bey on CBC are some of the venues these young men have
experienced.
