FATHEAD’S July 2014 release of “FATTER THAN EVER” features fifteen standout tracks courtesy of Canada’s premiere Blues song writers, Al Lerman and Omar Tunnoch. With nine critically acclaimed albums released to date and hundreds (thousands?) of crowd pleasing shows under their belts, it has become quite evident that Fathead may be the best blues /roots band to come out of Canada since Ronnie Hawkins hired THE BAND to become his backup group in the mid-1950s.

An ultra-tight ensemble, Fathead brings together some of the most respected musicians in the country to create an energetic blend of blues peppered liberally with elements of r&b, funky, gospel-tinged soul and “feel good” rock’n’roll. Real Blues magazine referred to the group’s harp and guitar-dominated sound as “one of those rare, much sought after, but seldom achieved, chemical/spiritual reactions that happens when all the right ingredients come together: talent, personality, humour, united vision and a little bit of hoodoo/voodoo”. “The Toronto Star” praised Fathead when it commented, “If the blues were a sports league, Fathead would be the equivalent of an all-star team”.
