Regarded as one of today's premier purveyors of blues harmonica, Steve Marriner has earned a reputation as Canada's hardest working man in show business. Since his early teens, Steve has been befriended and studied with some of the most influential harp players alive; Kim Wilson, Rick Estrin, Rod Piazza, Mark Hummell and Johnny Sansone.
His professional resumé includes recordings and performances with blues and rock legends such as Buddy Guy, Colin James, Big Sugar, Sass Jordan and Randy Bachman. As the front man for nu-blues power trio MonkeyJunk, Steve has won two Juno Awards and accumulated a staggering 23 maple blues awards since 2009! After several years of near misses, Steve is thrilled to be making his Hornby Island Blues Camp debut in 2025.
