Since 1967 Fito De La Parrahas been touring and making music with one of the most influential blues bands of all time! Canned Heat started back in 1965 an has gone down in history as a huge reason why blues and blues rock has remained popular for so many years!

I sat down and chatted with the only original member that is still preforming! Fito De La Parra and his band Canned Heat will be preforming right here in Clare Nova Scotia coming up at the end of the month! They’ll be at the Far Out Festival from July 29th to the 31st!
