HEAVY MONTRÉAL was incredible, so many great moments! Lee Aaron is most likely the only artist who could play the Montréal Jazz Festival AND Heavy Montréal, and within a year’s time we’ve played at both! Yesterday we had the privilege of being mixed by the legendary Anthony Crea, who took amazing care of us, and had the show running smooth as silk … what a pro, and he’s also from my hometown of North Bay! Tony took this shot from Front of House yesterday, so cool to see the Reimer Guitars Montreux up on the big screen! Thanks for the great effort Tony, and also to Rik Roe for the great photography and help that went above and beyond! Great job team! – Sean Kelly

from 10 Things We Learned at HEAVY MONTRÉAL:
02. Women ruled at 2018 Heavy Montreal.
– Lee Aaron and Jinjer totally kicked ass on Saturday, and The Agonist did precisely the same thing on Sunday, showcasing some utterly dynamite female-fronted metal at various stages in their respective careers. Lee Aaron, the undisputed queen of metal, has just released a new album of blues-infused rock anthems entitled Diamond Baby Blues. Aaron is decades into her career now – and she is aging like a fine wine. Currently touring with Sean Kelly on guitars, Dave Reimer on bass and John Cody on drums, Aaron has never sounded better, a fact she easily proved on Saturday.

from Bucket List Music Reviews:
Lee Aaron made a fun comeback as well. I haven’t seen or followed her since my childhood in 1987, so it was super awesome to see the Canadian Queen of Metal come back and kill it. She looked great, sounded even better, and played all her hits including “Some Girls Do” which brought back many memories.
