Beau Kavanagh and the Broken Hearted

Beau Kavanagh and the Broken Hearted, a group of three young and talented musicians from Montreal. Beau Kavanagh started playing guitar at 13 and like many teenagers played alternative rock. A few years later his musical progression brought him toward blues. Influences to his music are from Jimi Hendrix, T-Bone Walker, Elvis, and Brian Setzer. With his six string companion he found a new sound that fit him like a glove.

Matt Lavender, the drummer, discovered his musical side at 14 with influences from Miles Davis, Coltrane, and drummers Elvin Jones and Jimmy Cobb. He is a follower of Guy Nadon and his career. His sound is very Jazz.

Marc "the snake" Durocher, the bassman, started playing bass guitar at 16 before even developing a voice. His style is a mix of influences from Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, with a bit of Radiohead and Red Hot Chili Peppers. He easily combines traditional blues with modern alterative.

For their album they used original instruments of the 50's, 60's, and 70's to capture, in their words, the old warm and penetrating sound of the dirty blues. Mix these influences and instruments together and you get the sounds and vibrations of the king of blues.
