David Gogo (born March 18, 1969), is a Canadian blues guitarist, singer-songwriter and bandleader who is currently signed to the independent Cordova Bay Records label.
Gogo formed a band called The Persuaders, which eventually opened for blues performers such as Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and Albert Collins.
The first single from the album, Skeleton Key, a blues-inspired rendition of the song "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode, was released in the summer of 2002.
Gogo's eighth album, entitled Vibe, is a compilation of original songs written with Tom Wilson, Craig Northey (Odds/Colin James) and John Capek.
Acoustic: Official Bootleg Series - Volume 2 features the rich tones of Gogo's 1930 National Steel guitar as well as his 1915 Gibson and a modern-day 12-string.
It was released on November 13, 2012 and features seven blues-inspired standards and two originals and is a blend of traditional blues with a few hints of roots, gospel and rock ‘n roll.
Sitting in on the recording were Canadian musicians Bill Hicks, David Vest, Phil Dwyer, Shawn Hall, Tina Jones, and Camille Miller.
The aptly titled album features twelve diverse tunes; six reinvented yet classic covers and six originals inspired by a pilgrimage he did along the "Blues Trail" in Memphis, Mississippi and Alabama.
Musicians including Rick May, David Vest, Shawn Hall (Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer), Billy Hicks, and Tina Jones appear on the album.
The album features ten songs; six originals and four covers, and was recorded with producer Rick Salt in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
"Vicksburg Call" was recorded with David Gogo's backing band, featuring Bill Hicks on drums and Jay Stevens on bass.
The album also features guest appearances by Shawn Hall (Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer) and Kim Simmonds (Savoy Brown).
The awards are provided by the Western Canada Music Alliance, which consists of five Member groups from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia and Yukon.
