Founded in 1969 in Toronto, Downchild, formerly known as the Downchild Blues Band, is said to have paved the way for Canadian Blues musicians. The band was co-founded by brothers Donnie and Richard Walsh and most notably served as inspiration for the famous Saturday Night Live Belushi/Aykroyd duo The Blues Brothers. In fact, two Downchild songs, “Shotgun Blues” and “(I Got Everything I Need) Almost” were even covered on The Blues Brothers’ 1978 multi-platinum album Briefcase Full of Blues.
