About
Life, Death and The Blues
Created & Performed by Raoul Bhaneja, Maple Blues Award-winner
This innovative new concert/theatre hybrid explores the power, passion and meaning of The Blues, tracing the history of what has become “everyone’s folk music”, telling all of our stories and influencing music of all genres. From its early roots to new artists, Raoul Bhaneja – with the help of his band The Big Time, and amazing R& B artist Divine Brown – combines autobiography, interviews and multi-media to draw you into a personal, poetic and visceral world of The Blues.
PLUS -- every performance, a well-known Blues artist will join Raoul and Divine onstage for the finale to play a couple of numbers, withRomi Mayes (January 21) and Big Dave McLean (January 22) kicking off the run. Other names include: Little Miss Higgins, David Vest, Jay Nowicki, Jessee Havey, J.P. Lepage, Scott Nolan, Ken Gold, Lee Wenaus, Paul Plouffe, Billy Joe Green Tim Butler, Leonard Shaw, andGraham Guest.
