BLUES ON THE RIDEAU @ THE COVE INN

2018/19 SEASON – our 14th year!

MONTHLY DINNER & SHOW FUNDRAISERS IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL CHARITIES FEATURING SOME OF CANADA’S BEST BLUES BANDS

From Ottawa

WICKED GRIN 

If you attended last November’s BOTR show with Tas’ Cru’ you saw Murray Kinsley on guitar (and backing vocals) and Leigh-Anne Stanton on bass – two members of this great Roots/Blues/Rock band from Ottawa. The audience enjoyed their performance so much that we’ve invited them back as the full band this time with Bruce Saunders on drums and Rod Williams on harp. Although the individual members of Wicked Grin have been playing the Blues for a long time they didn’t get major recognition until 2013 when they released their debut album “Shame On Me”. It helped win them the Maple Blues Award for Best New Group that year and they’ve gone on to receive another MBA since then as well. Blues Underground Network named that CD – and their second one “Stormy Water” released in 2015 – as Blues Rock Albums of the Year. Murray and Leigh-Anne have travelled to Europe and across North America regularly since then – sometimes accompanied by the full band, sometimes backing Tas’ Cru’ and sometimes as a duo but wherever they play they attract a whole bunch of new fans. If you love good old “roll up your sleeves, get-up off your ass and dance” rockin’ Blues then this is a show you don’t want to miss!  A great way to close out the 2018/19 BOTR season.
