From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History
Mocking Shadows was founded in 1997, and originally performed traditional rhythm and blues music.[1] The band's first album was entitled Mock1, and this was followed in 1999 with a live album, Caught in the Act, and "Long Way," in 2001. In 2001 and 2002, the Mocking Shadows toured across Canada with B. B King.[2]
The lineup changed over time, leading to the introduction of funk elements and ska jazz in their music.[3][4][5]
The band released several more albums;[6] their album Out of the Blue was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award in 2004.[7] The Shadows horn section also contributed to Boogie Patrol's 2017 album Man On Fire.[8][9]
