Who is Rattle Snakin' Daddy ?
Paul Fenton & Peter Lazz came together to form Rattle Snakin' Daddy Blues Band after over forty years of both men being professional Blues & Rock performers from coast to coast in North America, as well as three other continents. Combining Paul's electrifying bottleneck slide-guitar chops together with Peter's traditional American blues vocal style, acoustic guitar and harmonica playing, they seamlessly bring both styles of hard rock and traditional blues together to create the Rattle Snakin Daddy "blues experience".
Paul Fenton traveled from coast to coast in Canada with many bands over the years; The Action, The Fenton Brothers, the Blushing Brides and a solo tour. Peter started his musical journey playing as the opening gig for Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, and over the next forty years played his traditional style of Blues in Canada , Germany , Singapore , Switzerland and many stops in-between. Finally, in Febuary 2008 Paul Fenton & Peter 'Lazz' Lazazzera formed the Rattle Snakin Daddy blues band and recorded their CD Rattle Snakin' Daddy.
We would like to take our hats off to CBC Canada for purchasing forty CDs, and distributing them coast to coast for their musical libraries across Canada . We would also like to thank T.B.S. Toronto Blues Society who gave us a great review on the same page as BB King in their magazine; as well as Radio Play from Danny Marks of BLUZ FM Toronto, and all the college/university stations from coast to coast who have helped to launch our CD and keep it live on the air waves. Also, we are grateful for the help of the local Ottawa club owners from The Black Sheep Inn where we did our sold out CD release party; The Rainbow Bistro where we played the night away for this year's Blues Fest weekend; and Irene's Pub and Elm Dale Tavern giving the Blues Band a place to work locally, building the fan base that keeps us out there playing the music we have given a lifetime learning how to play.
