RICK FINES & SUZIE VINNICK

 

Friday's Show featured Rick on his great electric guitar and soulful vocals and Suzie (2009 Maple Blues Female Vocalist Of The Year and new CD nominated for a Juno) with her gorgeous voice and driving bass. They were joined by Gary Craig on drums and Rod Phillips on keyboards for a full-on rockin' quartet. Rick & Suzie do it all from acoustic & electric blues, jazz, folk, country, even a little pop but for this Show it was all dancin', swingin' blues. There were a lot of highlights but the best one for me was seeing Rick and Suzie switch guitars mid-set without skipping a beat. The crowd also loved the blues song that Rick brought back from a Grade 4 class of Inuit students in the NWT that heĀ  recently visited while on his Blues In The Schools tour.
