What if The Velvet Underground was the name of your favourite dive bar blues club?
The house band would be Bluerock Junction.
 
With their signature style of basement blues and rockabilly jazz, Bluerock Junction is emerging as a hidden gem in Calgary's music scene.

A classic power trio featuring drums, bass, guitar and vocals, they combine elements of 60s garage rock with raw blues and funk.

The result?

A gritty, groovy sound you might describe as a mix between J.J. Cale and The White Stripes.
​
Having developed their sound playing clubs across Southern Alberta, Bluerock Junction's debut album "Thrift Store Queen" was released June 20th, 2025. 

Recorded live-off-the-floor to 4-track cassette, the album was produced by bandleader Ethan Collister and mixed by award winning producer Russell Broom.
 
How does it sound?
 
Deliciously gritty and loaded with vibe.

Jam packed with bluesy grooves, funky beats, and more soul than a second-hand sequin jacket, the eight-song LP plays like the soundtrack of an after-hours juke joint haunted by the ghost of Lou Reed.
