Blues Summit 11

Greetings Blues Fan!

For over twenty years the Toronto Blues Society has brought the Canadian blues community together for a super productive community gathering under one roof with super showcases and professional development.

Blues Summit Eleven will be no exception with thirty acts showcasing, many informative panels, B2B pitch sessions and a keynote address from Ontario Arts Council CEO Michael Murray.

However this year we face a nasty cash crunch due to the timing of support coming from various funding agencies. Our strategy for support is based on past practice and music industry expertise, but the calendar is conspiring against us.

CAN YOU SUPPORT BLUES SUMMIT ELEVEN WITH A DONATION?

We are happy to answer questions about the details of this event as well as the remarkable Maple Blues Awards. You may have seen that A-list and discovery artists are on offer and that Manny DeGrandis has followed Gary Kendall’s many years as bandleader with a fresh new take.

The Maple Blues Awards will culminate the four day session in Toronto with performances by Matt Andersen, Blackburn Brothers, Brandon Isaak, Angelina Hunter and host Quisha Wint. The debut of The Maples back up band features Manny DeGrandis, Selena Evangeline, Quincy Bullen, Kristen Prince and Dave Patel.
