Sun Feb. 19, 2-4pm - Blue Moon Marquee
Blue Moon Marquee is a Screamin' and Hollerin' Gypsy blues band that stems from the Alberta Dusty Hoodoos and the Rocky Mountains. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette (vocals, bass, and drums) primarily write and perform original compositions. Influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves, such as artists such as Lonnie Johnson, Blind Willie Jonson, Charley Patton, Howlin' Wolf, Bill Jennings, Big Bill Broonzy, Django Riendhart to name a few. Blue Moon Marquee have perfected a live style of playing, a duo that sounds like a full band. Their chemistry transcends the music itself and the way Colette's angelic tones lift Wesley's beaten down "Bukowski-esque mystique" is something that will surely stay in your head and make a lasting impression. www.bluemoonmarquee.com<http://www.bluemoonmarquee.com>

West Coast Canadian award-nominated touring musician, Jocelyn Pettit, is a vibrant

With a sound that blends high energy Latin, West African, reggae and folk rock rhythms the John Welsh Band gets crowds moving wherever they perform.
