Don't miss this guy at Bluesfest!

Posted by Lindsey Wallis in The Intern-net

Ok, so I was talking to Maurice Ginzer (former owner of Kaos and now organizer of Calgary Bluesfest as well as president of the Blues Music Association -- this guy knows his blues) and he said that the show not to miss at this years bluesfest is Joe Bonamassa. That said there are a bunch of great artists like Colin James, Watermelon Slim, Booker T as well as local mainstays like Tim Williams and Johnny V. 

Ginzer says that this guy is a giant up and coming name, Eric Clapton sat in with him at a recent show in the UK and is getting critical acclaim around the world. According to Ginzer, this will be the show that everyone will be saying they were at in a few years (whether or not they were actually there!)

Anyway, check him out and decide for yourself. And look for my article about the blues in Calgary in next week's issue, including an interview with Ginzer.
