CANADIAN BLUES SPOTLIGHT w. James Doran
on Mark Stenzler’s BLUES ZEPPELIN, Bern Switzerland
www.facebook.com/BluesZeppelinSunday, Sept 13 – 9-11 am EDT (3-5 pm Swiss time)

KENNY “BLUES BOSS” WAYNE
www.kennybluesboss.com

Born in Spokane, Washington and raised in San Francisco, New Orleans and L.A. before moving to Vancouver in the 1980’s Kenny got introduced to Blues & Jazz piano through his mother’s record collection of records by artists like Nat King Cole, Fats Domino and Amos Milburn. His father was a preacher so he also got a good upbringing with Gospel. At age 8 he was already a child prodigy and by his early teens he was playing Boogie-Woogie piano in Blues clubs with artists like Jimmy Reed. He took an almost 20 year hiatus from performing after that but resumed playing when he moved to Vancouver where he soon became one of the hottest keyboardists on the West Coast. Kenny has earned 3 Juno nominations for his albums on Electro-Fi Records – and won one – for “Let It Loose” in 2005. After that he joined the Stony Plain label and has cut several great albums with them as well. Over the years Kenny has also been nominated for an American Blues Music Award and multiple Maple Blues Awards in the categories of Entertainer, Producer, Recording and Keyboardist of the Year – he’s won the latter Award 5 times since 2002. Kenny is one of the headliners at the SOUTHSIDE SHUFFLE in Port Credit ON this weekend www.southsideshuffle.com and I’m looking forward to seeing him again.

FIRSTJAZZ NIGHT of the Season with SPENCER EVANS TRIO

The Cove Inn hosts one of the most original and memorable Live Music Experiences you’ll have! The Popular Spencer Evans Trio with Rob Radford on drums, Seamus Cowan on bass and Spencer Evans on piano, clarinet and vocals has proven a formidable three performing all styles of music to huge crowds of all ages. The party has been going for over 19 years now! Join us for dinner too… The Trio plays select dates throughout the fall until the spring and EVERY THURSDAY from late spring to Thanksgiving Long Weekend. 
Call The Cove 1.888.COVE.INN to make reservations and confirm dates. 
SPENCER EVANS was born in Picton, grew up around the Quinte area, and graduated from B.C.I. Spencer plays piano, clarinet, accordion, sings, dances, prances and has been a professional musician for the past 15 years. He has played Bermuda to Bosnia, New Orleans to the North Pole, and has recorded and toured with The Cowboy Junkies, Sarah Harmer and Pat Temple, and has performed with Jeff Healey, Dan Aykroyd, Willie P. Bennett, Jack Mahieu, Alex Pangman, Maria Muldaur, and Toronto’s Swing Gang, among countless others. Spencer has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBC Radio’s The Vinyl Cafй with Stuart McLean, MUCHmusic and CMT. A resident of Kingston for several years, Spencer keeps busy playing with numerous local bands such as Bloom, Pico de Gallo, Ghetto Xpress, The River Cats and various jazzy combos. 
SEAMUS COWAN plays the low bass and sings the high notes…Kind of strange but it works. Has played all kinds of music in his career so he fits right in. 
ROB RADFORD has a solid synergy with the boys. His drumming is some of the best around and his ferocity is difficult to tame, behind the kit that is.
Together, the trio are a powerful combination. Enjoy them weekly in the summer months!
JAZZ NIGHT will continue EVERY THURSDAY from Jun.4-Oct.8!
Cost: $5
Reservations recommended!!!

Fri.Jun.5, 7-10pm

Just when you thought you’d heard it all, here is Oh Susanna. A Folk master singer and player who has surrounded herself with some of the best on the Canadian scene including Cam Giroux, Basil Donovan, Bob Egan and more. Her sound is fresh yet pays homage to tradition. Her voice is strong yet tender to the finest balladry. Her songs live and breathe her daily experience yet channel the days of old. Her love of all things Hank Williams, Bill Monroe and Tom Waits really come to light in her brand of Alt-Country, old time blues and folk.
With nods from the Junos, Genies, CBC and Canadian Folk Awards, she has earned her stripes and continues to push the Canadian musical envelope. Catch her when she flies through our fair village…
