  • Bio

    Blaine McKenzie (guitar, keys, vocals) Self-taught, he began playing boogie-woogie and country on the family piano at a very young age. "Long before my feet could reach the floor from the bench," he recalls. He has played for years with many bands around the GTA and also writes songs. He gained a reputation around the GTA for his explosive Jerry Lee Lewis performances. After forming and performing in the bands Jetstream and The Telewhackers, he has joined Big Tobacco & The Pickers who have a growing following across Ontario.

    I have worked with many talented musicians in the Toronto area here in Canada. Now I am enjoying playing with Big Tobacco and The Pickers for a dose of hard-core outlaw country - straight up, no chaser.
