Dubbed a “Canadian Bonnie Raitt,”
LJ Mounteney combines soulful vocals with high-energy performances making her a stand out on the Canadian music scene.
LJ Mounteney has carved out a unique niche for herself via her bluesy vocals and expressive performances. In addition to her leading own band, she fronts Zappostrophe’ (a top-notch Frank Zappa project) as well as Get Back Unplugged - The Beatles Reimagined (late period Beatles) featuring violinist extraordinaire, Cam Wilson (VSO, Van Django, Joe’s Trio). In 2025, LJ and her stellar band played a sold out show at the Vancouver International Film Festival Society. Her ‘Pioneering Women of Blues’ set was paired with the Canadian debut showing of Big Mama Thornton’s new documentary, I Can’t Be Anyone But Me. Like Thornton herself, LJ continues to forge her own unique path through the lens of female driven blues.
