About
Join us for an evening of Prairie Blues from the two best to ever come out of the prairies.
Juno and WCMA winner Big Dave McLean, the heart and soul of the Winnipeg music scene, has been singing the blues better anyone for decades now. It’s a journey that’s taken him hooting, hollering and testifying through every juke joint and dance hall across the country, including an opening gig for Muddy Waters.
Juno winner and nominee Ken Hamm is one of Canada’s foremost interpreters of traditional roots and blues music. Beyond all the awards and well-earned praise he has garnered, the most impressive thing about Hamm’s music is how he is able to make the music he plays his own. He absorbs, arranges and restates traditional blues and roots music to make it current and original. His ability to accompany himself with driving and intricate slide and acoustic guitar completes the mix.
