CONOR GAINS BAND PLAYS CAFE 13 Saturday March 13th
CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO

Following three successful performances last month the ‘new’ Conor Gains Band returns to Cafe 13 on Saturday March 13th for a night of rockin’ blues.

The trio consisting of 16 year old guitar prodigy Conor Gains, drummer Vic Freitas, 37, and Jeremy Patey, 33, on bass, played the London Music Club on January 16th earning a standing ovation from the near capacity crowd.

Two weeks later it was a similar scene at The Boathouse in Kitchener where the band played three highly energised sets to warm applause. Finally on Sunday January 31st the band were guests at The Groove Kitchen and played a four song set for a recorded national radio pilot.

“I love playing at Cafe 13,” Gains says. “It’s where I first started playing in front of an audience at the weekly blues jams. And, I have always felt support from the crowd there.”

Gains was 12 when he first began playing at the Cafe 13 jams. These days the audience is much larger with most tickets sold well in advance.
The show begins at 9:00 pm and will consist of three sets ending roughly at midnight. Gains has been writing material of his own and recently collaborated on a song with Grammy award winner Dan Hill. He has included that piece in the show.

Since then his career has picked up. On May 11th of last year Gains was invited to play with the legendary Les Paul at New York’s Iridium Jazz Club. He has also played at clubs in Nashville, Memphis, Cleveland, Toronto and Montreal.

Tickets for the Cafe 13 show are now on sale for $10 each.
