(or fax 416-538-6559, tel: 416-538-3885, toll free 1-866-871-9457) On Saturday, February 9 Duke Robillard (left) is appearing at the Silver Dollar. His latest CD Living With the Blues concentrates on his blues roots. He won the W.C. Handy Award in 2000 and 2001 for Best Blues Guitarist and he just won the Maple Blues Award for International Artist of the Year. Duke Robillard is a renaissance man of the blues and Toronto just can't get enough of him.
Michael Jerome Browne (right) will be taking home to Montreal the Maple Blues Award for Acoustic Act of the Year but before he leaves, you can see what all the excitement is about when he plays the Silver Dollar, Friday February 1st. Toronto favourites Mr. Rick & The Biscuits will open the show.
Look out Ontario, Tracy K (right) is on the way! Out west they call her "Canada's First Lady of the Blues Harp" and she'll be swinging through Ontario with dates at Boomerz in London (Feb 16), The Black Swan in Toronto (Wednesday, Feb 20th), The Rainbow in Ottawa (Feb 22) and more (see listings). Don't miss this opportunity to hear some kick-ass Manitoba blues.
