BluesReel is a harmonica-guitar duo inspired by the folk tradition from both sides of the Atlantic. Based in Montreal, BluesReel plays a compelling repertoire of traditional tunes, blues and original compositions. A bit of rawk and roll has also been known to creep in to the mix. Equally at home in traditional and contemporary folk genres, Patrick Hutchinson (guitar) brings the Celtic influence to BluesReel. John Kerkhoven (harmonica) performs in many styles, but his first love is the blues: gospel blues, delta blues, country blues, Chicago blues.
