Ian Andrews & the Big Bad Blues Show

“… I love horns … and the bigger the band, the better it sounds to my ear!” Levon Helm
“… horns always create excitement … and give the music a broader spread!” Jaimoe

Brace yourself for the Blues carnival, because the Big Bad Blues Show is in town! … Horns, Keys, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Percussion, Vocals.

Fronted by their ring leader, Lead Vocalist and Guitar Player Ian Andrews, this 7-musician lineup features a 3-piece horn section and percussion ensemble.

Ian is backed by: Jason Colavecchia on Bass, Shan Bricker – Drums, Nik Hirst – Keys, and the Big Bad Brass … Kim Regimbal – Saxophones, Jack Cooper – Trombone, and Connor Wilde – Trumpet. Each and everyone of them a seasoned talent in their own right!

This is “old school” Blues – gritty, greasy, down in the alley juke joint style! Horn-driven for that sultry sexy sound guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Quite simply, it is … Blues like it should be!!


Rae Melvin Band

This young Blues musician from Clinton, ON combines a mix of Blues, Rock ‘n Roll and original material. All influenced by the likes of Little Walter, Freddie King and Paul Butterfield.

Rae on vocals/drums & harmonica is backed by Braden Mahon on guitar/vocals, and Patrick Leduc on Bass.

His latest EP “Clinton Junction” is out on CD and all streaming platforms.

Here is a link to a little taste of the Rae Melvin Band:
