Waterstreet Blues Band - Talkin About (2020)

At the heart of waterstreet are 3 good friends who have been playing a growing book of original music, and their own take of the blues: Rob Deyman, Paul Sapounzi and Silvia Dee.
Adding to the vibe is harmonica player (Mississippi) Pete Temple, drummers like "Magic" Lukasiewicz and guest musicians. Together they produce a high energy blues experience.

Rob Deyman: Left-handed guitar(s) / vocals
Rob started in the Winnipeg Folk/Blues scene playing with local legends Big Dave McLean and Gord Kidder. Influences range from T-Bone Walker, Mel Brown, Hendrix, Freddie and BB King, SRV, and Miles Davis. Rob was the catalyst for the formation of waterstreet. His blues-tinged leads provide a soulful musical direction for the band. He delivers a vintage blues sound through a variety of Fender amps coupled with a stable of classic blues guitars.

Paul Sapounzi: Bass / Vocals
Paul is a big British Rock fan who plays a mean vintage Hofner and RIC through a 67Vox. In a blues situation the Hofner adds a jazzy wood sound to the mix while the RIC provides the tooth and definition required for the Chicago and funkier styles. Paul’s vocals are a cross between the urban blues of Colin James and the melody and rawness of early McCartney. Far and away the best sense of humour on the stage and shares his talent for fun with the audience.

Silvia Dee: Keyboards / vocals
Loves jazz, blues and latin styles. She has been influenced by Professor Longhair, Dr. John, Johnnie Johnson, Lou Ann Barton and Buckwheat Zydeco, to name a few. She produces fabulous sounds through her Nord electro3 rig and Vivona Tonemaster accordion to suit the musical setting. Silvia's vocals command the attention of any crowd and have become a featured component of waterstreet's sound. She easily covers styles as diverse as Billie Holiday and Debbie Davies, Norah Jones and SRV.
