Live Blues Listings


Mose Scarlett will be releasing his new Borealis CD Precious Seconds at Hugh's Room, Toronto on Friday Sept 6, 8:30pm. Mose is one of a kind. His music is unique… a mixture of jazz, blues, ragtime, and swing. Hope you can join Mose along with Jeff Healey, Margaret Stowe, Tony Quarrington and Ken Whiteley for the launch of this fine album!	Rusty Zinn & The Dynatones were a big hit at the Beaches Jazz Festival with Rusty demonstrating his new passion for soul music. He's played with a number of high profile artists including Little Charlie & The Night Cats, Jody Williams, and Kid Ramos and has received rave reviews for his latest CD The Chill (Alligator). They will be at The Rainbow Bistro in Ottawa Thursday Oct 3, The Legendary Red Dog in Peterborough on Friday Oct 4, and The Silver Dollar Room in Toronto on Saturday Oct 5.	Michelle Willson & The Evil Gal Festival Orchestra play the Silver Dollar on Thursday, September 5 at 8:00pm and follow that up with a gigs at Boomerz in London on September 8 and the Fireside Café in Wingham on September 6th (9 pm show)
	Long John Hunter's been playing his foot-pounding brand of original, hard-driving roadhouse blues for over 40 years. His Alligator Records debut, Border Town Legend (1996). and follow-up, Swinging From The Rafters (1997), put Hunter from the Lone Star state's best-kept secret to the international blues world's most wanted list. His made-for-dancing Texas shuffles, fueled by searing single-note solos and melodic, drawling vocals have made Long John Hunter a favorite at clubs, concert stages and festivals all around the world. He has performed with Gatemouth Brown, Albert Collins, Big Mama Thornton, Lightning Hopkins, Etta James and Lowell Fulson. He will be at the Silver Dollar Saturday, September 21st.
