I generally hate concert previews, but am going to write a brief one anyway. You see, I had the privilege of seeing
Ruthie Foster's group play an intimate gig in the candlelit cellar of the Okanagan's Blasted Church winery in 2009. Although virtually no one there knew her before that night, the entire audience was in blues communion by the time the concert was over, swaying and swooning. Infused with gospel and soul, her inimitable voice makes contemporary blues easily resonate even with people who don't follow the genre. Some musicians record great studio music, but fall flat live. Double-billed with blues journeyman
Charlie Musselwhite, the upcoming concert is about as surefire a concert bet as you can get in Calgary.
Foster and Musselwhite play the Jack Singer concert hall March 19th, as part of the BD&P World Music Series.
Tickets are available via the EPCOR Centre Box Office.
