Band Bio:

Waterstreet Blues Band delivers original modern blues with a rockin’ party groove - and a side order of Louisiana Spice! 

They've performed at every major blues festival in Ontario such as Kitchener Blues, Southside Shuffle, West Coast Blues, Lighthouse Blues, Orangeville Blues & Jazz and more. They've shared the stage with local and national blues luminaries. 

Waterstreet was a finalist in the 2020 International Blues & Roots Songwriting Competition and  released a new album "Talkin' About" to great reviews and independent radio play across North America and Europe, and to quote Hot Wax Album Review: 

“They’re ready to party right out of the gate!" 

The full band consists of lead singers Silvia Dee (keys/vocals/accordion) and Paul Sapounzi (bass) with guitars and background vocals by Rob Deyman, Chris "Junior" Malleck on harmonica and drums by Jonny Sauder. Silvia & Rob perform as "Silvia Dee & the Boyfriend" for an up close musical experience with a rootsy vibe.
