Life, Death & the Blues - Jan 19 - 31

Blues Jam meets an evening of theatre - and a whole lot of toe-tapping tunes.

Actor and musician Raoul Bhaneja is joined on stage by Juno Award-winning R&B star Divine Brown, and some of the finest Blues musicians in Canada. Plus, every night, a different Calgary blues legend joins the show for a finale.
