The Saskatoon Blues Society announces 2013 Blues Festival Winter MeltdownTo quote B.C. Read, local veteran blues artist, the annual blues festival is “one of the hottest weeks of the year, here in Saskatoon." "It’s always such a pleasure to see and play with some of the world’s best blues men & women in my own home town," said Read. "I’ve worked festivals across North America and the Saskatoon Blues Festival ranks right up there. I’m looking forward to this year’s event in a big way.” Heading into its eleventh year of celebrating the blues, the Saskatoon Blues Society is gearing up in anticipation of once again presenting some of the best musical artists the local, national and international music scene has to offer. One artist of interest is Marcia Ball, an American blues singer and pianist who was born in Orange, Texas, and grew up in Vinton, Louisiana. She is a five-time Grammy nominee, a nine-time Blues Music Award winner with two recent wins for Best Contemporary Blues - Female Artist of the Year. Ball is the “real deal” and will bring equal parts of New Orleans, boogie woogie, swamp music and Texas soul all wrapped up into one package. She'll light up the stage at the Electric Blues Cabaret Room at the Odeon Event Centre. The Saskatoon Blues Festival Winter Meltdown is the place to be for Saskatoon and area music lovers. You can check us out on Facebook, Twitter, and www.saskatoonbluessociety.ca for updates and news regarding artists and events. The Saskatoon Blues Society promotes, fosters and celebrates blues music in Saskatoon. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the blues.
