The Downchild Blues Band - who sometimes record and perform as simply "Downchild" - is a Canadian blues band, formed out of Toronto blues jams at Grossman's Tavern fronted by Donnie Walsh back in 1969. As a friend of Dan Aykroyd's, Donnie Walsh contributed two songs to the Blues Brothers' 'Briefcase Full Of Blues' album in 1978.
