The three times I have been during the past three months I am amazed ...to hear some truly excellent musicians. God bless Steve for his enthusiasm and persistence... Come on NOTL residents, get out and enjoy the fun." - Jon Nicholls, (letter to the Editor, Niagara Advance)

Besides Steve on (kicking) bass, there was Dennis Keldie on (steaming) keys, Steve Grisbrook on (burning) guitar, Mark Inneo on (smoking) drums, and Penner McKay on (smoldering) percussion. Why are these guys so @#$ good?" - Greg Holmes

This is the second volume of a series of live recordings featuring Niagara Music Award winners, The Niagara Rhythm Section, Canadaâs hottest back-up band and their weekly guests.

The Niagara Rhythm Section has been performing every Saturday night since 2003 at The Anchorage Inn in historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada. Steve Goldberger on bass and vocals, Dave Norris on drums, Penner MacKay on percussion (all verteran musicians originally hailing from Toronto) and Herb Nelson on keyboards are the core of the band with several rotating guitar players filling out the mix. (Steve Grisbrook, Ed Kopala and others)

Each week they invite a different Canadian artist to be their guest and the put on an unrehearsed two-hour show of live improvised music. Their guests have included both well-known Canadian name artists as well as some of the most in demand studio musicians in the country. They come from far and wide to spend a night with these stellar musicians and groove on the wonderful vibe.
