Music comes as naturally to Canadian-born Paige Armstrong as eating and sleeping. Growing up in Peterborough, Ontario, he was surrounded by music from an early age. His father, a saxophonist in a local band, inspired Paige to develop his own passion for the art form.

A Colin James concert during his teens ignited a lifelong connection to the Blues — a genre that would go on to shape his sound and career. Influenced by icons such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton, Paige has cultivated a guitar style that is both soulful and unmistakably his own.

​

For the past 12 years, Paige has been the right-hand guitarist to acclaimed blues and soul artist Shakura S’aida, performing on stages around the world. He has also spent the last 8 years as a key guitarist in the Legends of Motown, honouring the timeless music of the Motown era. Recently, he joined the Blackburn Brothers, one of Canada’s most respected blues families, and became the newest guitarist in the gospel-funk powerhouse Newworldson.

​

Alongside these collaborations, Paige has been rapidly building his own identity as a bandleader with his power trio, The Paige Armstrong Band. In September, he performed at the Canal Bank Shuffle under his own name for the first time — a milestone that received outstanding reviews and marked an exciting new chapter in his solo career.

Beyond the stage, Paige channels his creative eye into Armstrong Fine Art Consulting, where he curates and connects collectors with fine Canadian art. He also shares his passion for music by teaching guitar, inspiring the next generation of players with the same energy and authenticity that define his performances.

Driven by an enduring dedication to his craft, Paige continues to captivate audiences with heartfelt performances that channel the raw emotion and spirit of the Blues.
