SHK Music Presents: The second annual Boston Harbor Distillery Blues Fest
SHK is proud to partner with the Boston Blues Society to present the second annual Boston Harbor Distillery Blues Festival. Performing will be The Delta Generators, The White Owls, and Canyon Lights. The One Dime Band will be performing outside (weather permitting) between sets, and we will have a food truck on hand for this special event. Get your tickets early for this one.
Delta Generators - Winning awards and playing to sold-out shows across New England and beyond, the Delta Generators have made quite a name for themselves since hitting the scene in 2008. Their music brings together their diverse musical influences, drawing on the traditions of Blues, Roots, R&B, Americana, and Rock to create a sound uniquely their own.
The band is comprised of frontman Brian Templeton (The Radio Kings, The Proven Ones) Brothers, Charlie O’Neal (guitar), and Rick O’Neal (bass). Rick and Charlie got their first break in their late teens to early twenties touring and recording for Ben Orr (formerly of The Cars). Rick also recorded and toured playing for guitarist Johnny A. for many years. Charlie also played for the band Must(Wind-Up/BMG) who had a top 10 song in the Billboard Rock Charts. Jeff Armstrong(Drums) completes the lineup.
Together, the Delta Generators have blended the best of their best to bring their fans an unforgettable musical experience.

Canyon Lights - Fronted by Tim Carman and Pat Faherty, formerly of GA-20, Canyon Lights are a blend of throwback rock n’ roll, swampy Americana, and heavy blues. Friends and bandmates since 2018, Pat and Tim have racked up thousands of hours touring and performing on stages all over the world. Their love of blues music fueled their explosive performances with GA-20, a three-time #1 Billboard charting blues band from Boston, MA. In 2023, Pat and Tim began connecting over their mutual love of 70s rock n’ roll bands like Mountain, Thin Lizzy, and James Gang. Inspired by this era, Pat proposed the two work out some song ideas he had been playing with. At the same time, Tim revealed to Pat some personal lyrics he had held onto for years. The songwriting connection was instant and unique. Pat and Tim realized that this was a new venture, not strictly blues and not confined to any lane of creativity. The two flew to Denver in early 2024 to put these sounds on tape with friend Dylan Brown at the helm as engineer and co-producer. From this session, Canyon Lights was born.
“THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM ARE AMONG THE MOST PERSONAL WE’VE EVER WRITTEN AND RECORDED. SPENDING 200 DAYS A YEAR ON THE ROAD, STRUGGLING WITH SEPARATION AND LOSS, THE THRILL AND LONELINESS OF LIVING OUT OF A SUITCASE... A LOT OF BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS WENT INTO THIS ALBUM. WE HELD NOTHING BACK AND WE CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU ALL TO EXPERIENCE THESE STORIES WITH US...”
-Pat and Tim
After finishing the album, which featured bass guitar (played by Pat) on every track, the pair realized they needed a third member to cover the low end live. They reached out to friends in the music community for suggestions and one name kept turning up, Heather Gillis. Pat and Tim flew to Nashville, TN to meet and jam with Heather, and the connection was instant. Gillis, a talented multi-instrumentalist, has extensive touring experience with artists like Butch Trucks and Lindsay Lou and also leads her own group called Wolf Twin. While in Nashville, the trio recorded a live version of their original song “Seventh Son,” which they released December 5, 2024. Since then, things have moved fast for the trio. After the release of “Seventh Son,” they signed with Burning House Management and Madison House Booking Agency and booked a slew of national tour dates including a stretch of shows opening up for the legendary George Thorogood & The Destroyers.
The word is out on this new trio. And they’re only getting started…
