Originally conceived in 2013, The Hogtown Allstars began almost by accident when five members of The Downchild Blues Band were approached by Blues On The Rideau promoter, James Doran, with a proposal for a one/off show that would take place during the main band’s annual winter hiatus. Chuck Jackson, Gary Kendall, Pat Carey, Mike Fitzpatrick and Michael Fonfara added ex-Fathead guitarist Teddy Leonard to the band and accepted the offer. A quick decision on the name by made reference to their home base and the show was announced. More offers came in and the rest is Canadian blues history. A new band of not so new southern Ontario players dedicated to the blues as an art form were on their way. The plan was to remain loyal to Downchild and fit in shows around the main band’s schedule. In 2022 Hog Wild was released to overwhelming critical acclaim by Stony Plain Records and became an instant classic.
