The Toronto Blues Society Women's Blues Revue is a unique event, featuring new faces, established artists, women in mid-career, from diverse backgrounds, performing blues in a wide range of styles. Throughout the years, this event has launched the careers of women like Amanda Marshall, Rita Chiarelli and Rose Clay, and featured others like Shirley Eikhard (who penned the monster hit "Something To Talk About"), Sue Foley, Salome Bey, and has included unusual artists like Lee Aaron and Carole Pope. The Women's Blues Revue has outgrown several venues, and has routinely sold-out to capacity audiences. This year marks a very special year, as we move to Massey Hall. CBC Radio One's "Saturday Night Blues" with host Holger Peterson, is once again recording the entire evening's performances to be featured throughout the coming year. Also from CBC's "Sounds Like Canada", we welcome back our emcee, Shelagh Rogers. For further info, contact the Toronto

This event is produced with support from the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Department of Canadian Heritage and Ontario Ministry of Culture.
