Blue Moon Marquee Trio

TICKET LINK | https://tickets.bluemoonmarquee.com/events/bluemoonmarqueemusicinc/2239897 FEATURING ALISON YOUNG - SAXOPPHONE Winners of the 2024 JUNO Award for Blues Album of the Year, Blue Moon Marquee writes and performs original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. Core members A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette a.k.a. Badlands Jass (vocals/bass/drums) have played for a vast gamut of crowds at jazz clubs, lindy hop dance halls, folk venues, blues haunts, hospitals, prisons, markets, motorcycle joints, dive bars and prestigious festival stages. Carving a path through blues, jazz, jump jive, folk, country, swing and Indigenous soul with an authentic spirit, their sound does not idle easily in one certain category. It stomps and struts through the wilds, conjuring a blend where Howlin Wolf tangos with Django, Earnest Tubb shoots firecrackers with Louis Prima … & Memphis Minnie throws dice with Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. Their gift is they bring all these elements together without anything sounding out of step. They collect the roots and smoothly braid them with lyrics that often touch on the underbelly of society, woven with elements of Indigenous storytelling and poetic cadence. After picking up the 2024 Juno for Blues album of the Year and a nomination in 2025 for the same category, they are on the road with a full band to deliver a stylish & spellbinding sound that freely reaches back into tradition but is entirely unique. Blue Moon Marquee has harnessed the best of vintage music that’s practically a century old and brought it into modern times. It’s part haunting, part joyous, and sneakily infectious. —Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine
