 Friday March 5, 2010  Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whitely, Club 750 The Bruce, 8:00 pm

Nominated for this year’s Maple Blues Award “Best Acoustic Artists” Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley will be our featured artists for our Blues in the Schools programme, sponsored by The Power Workers Union of Bruce Power. Following two days of school presentations, we are proud to present Diana and Chris in the warm and relaxing, newly renovated Club 750 at The Bruce on Friday March 5, 2010. Dubbed as “Canada's National Treasure”, Diana Braithwaite is a dynamic blues singer who in 1999 was chosen by Sarah Mclachlan as one from 400 singer/songwriters to open Lilith Fair at the Molson Amphitheatre where she kicked off the show with a powerful opening concert for the 18,000 in attendance. A gifted performer, she captivates and ‘floors the audience' singing well known lively Delta blues standards and deep, spiritual blues with equal finesse. Diana Braithwaite's shows have led her into the company of some of the finest electric and acoustic blues guitarists including Mel Brown, Son Seals, Magic Slim, T-Model Ford, Robert Cray and Jeff Healey.
For over 30 years, multi-talented artist Chris Whiteley has been successfully performing, writing and recording music. He has played on over 150 recordings, by such diverse artists as Leon Redbone, blues greats John Hammond , Blind John Davis, and Kenny”Blues Boss” Wayne. Whiteley's own recordings have led to many awards and accolades, including Jazz Report Blues Album of the Year, six Juno Award Nominations, and Maple Blues Awards as "Horn Player of the Year" and SOCAN "Songwriter of the Year".
Together these two artists promise to bring us a memorable evening of acoustic delta style blues at Club 750 The Bruce.

 Friday May 14, 2010  Michael Burks Sutton Park Inn, 8:00 pm

Direct from the internationally recognized and prestigious Blues Awards of the Blues Foundation in Memphis Tennessee we will be the first stop for the nominated Michael Burks, "Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year". The award is to be presented on Thursday May 6 and whether he wins or looses, his first gig following the Blues Awards will be right here in Kincardine as he kicks off his northeastern US and Canada tour for May and June! ``Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Michael “Iron Man” Burks stands tall as a major contemporary blues figure. With a nickname earned by his hours-long, intensely physical performances, fearsome guitar attack, tough, smoky vocals and the thousands of miles logged behind the wheel of his touring van, Burks is a modern blues hero. Nobody in today’s blues world successfully bridges searing electric guitar blues with unbridled rock and roll energy like Burks.`` Chicago Sun Times
