Opening for Booker T’s Stax Revue

“They are poised for worldwide recognition in a brilliant and unique genre-bending ride through American blues and folk, Gypsy jazz, Native American themes, jump blues, swing, and more.” – Duke Robillard

JUNO-winning blues band Blue Moon Marquee, fronted by A.W. Cardinal vocals/guitar and Jasmine Colette a.k.a. “Badlands Jass” vocals/bass/drums, writes and performs original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps, or grooves. Since their first appearance at TD Victoria International JazzFest in 2015, Blue Moon Marquee continues to make waves on the national blues scene and beyond. With the release of their JUNO-winning fifth album Scream, Holler & Howl (2022), Blue Moon Marquee have captured their most sophisticated collection of songs yet.  The album won “Best Blues Album” at the 2024 JUNO awards and was honoured with the Blues Foundation’s Blues Music Award nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year (2023). The release also swept the Maple Blues Awards (Canada’s highest honour in Blues) with four wins including “Album of the Year,” “Songwriter of the Year,” “Acoustic Act of the Year,” and “Entertainer of the Year.” Don’t miss their return to TD JazzFest as they open for Booker T’s Stax Revue! Accompanied by Darcy Phillips on keyboards.
