If the respect of his peers is anything to go by, Jerome Godboo
is surely one of the giants on the music scene in Canada ...and
beyond.
Vocalist, harmonica virtuoso and front man extraordinaire,
Jerome has shared stages with the best, including Prince, James
Cotton, The Tragically Hip, Johnny Winter, Levon Helm, Jose
Feliciano, Billy Ray Cyrus and many more. he has recorded and toured
with Alannah Myles, Jeff Healey, Ronnie Hawkins and, most recently,
Jimmy Bowskill, the teenaged blues sensation who is electrifying
audiences.
Jerome's network television appearances on CTVs open mike
with Mike Bullard and Canada am, as well as CBCs zed and TVOs planet
parent, have exposed him to audiences across Canada. and he
continues to win fans abroad with tours in Finland, Portugal and
Israel.
Anyone who has seen Jerome live has the images seared in
their mind the machismo and the mischievous grin, the low-slung
leather belt of harmonicas, combined with a tenderness and
vulnerability as well. based purely on first impressions, it's easy
to make comparisons to Jagger and Morrison... but Jerome imitates no
one.
Born in Victoria, Jerome exploded onto the scene in Ottawa
and Toronto in the late 1980s with The Phantoms, a high-energy blues
and rock phenomenon. the band recorded two albums for a&m, shot
nine videos, notched a top-selling single with Home and tore up
packed nightclubs and theatres across Canada. fans still get excited
recalling those transcendent shows.
Since the phantoms went their separate ways in 1994, Jerome
has been honing a more refined sound of his own, releasing five
independent cds as well as supporting many of the legends of
Canadian music as a trusted sideman. among the highlights was the
appearance at the Canadian farm aid benefit concert before 20,000
fans at Toronto's Air Canada centre in January 2000, broadcast
nationwide, and two electrifying shows with Jimmy Bowskill in Montréal
in the summer of 2002, one before a record-breaking crowd at the
Montréal jazz festival and the to a crowd of 30,000 at Canada day

REVIEWS:
Godboo's special quality is
his ability to raise and ordinary song into something explosive...
wringing new meaning from old words, coaxing cadence where none
previously existed. simply a pleasure to watch.
