Groovecorp@Pepper Jack Cafe

What a fun night we had last night at the Pepper Jack Cafe! Thanks so much to all the friends and family who came out to support us. It was a great first night for Alex MacDougall, our new guitar player. (Although he threw his back out just before the gig and had to play sitting down, but he rocked the house anyway...)

Women's Blues Revue Part II

Last night, we finished our "WBR Roadshow" at Oakville Centre for Performing Arts". I took a few dressing room shots. That's all I've got until others email me pictures they took. Picture 1: Sarah McElcheran and Colleen Allen (horns); Picture 2: Rita Chiarelli, Richard Flohil and Maureen (Moe) McTague, publicist for the Juno Awards; Picture 3: Colleen again; Picture 4: Serena Ryder warms up with Rita's guitar in the bathroom.

Spring Women's Blues Revue Shows

Almost a year and a half ago, we were approached about playing some gigs other than the annual event at Massey Hall, and before I knew it, March had arrived and we were rehearsing and on stage at the Centre for the Arts at Brock University in St. Catharines, my old stomping ground. It was a great gig. The kind you wish every gig was. Thanks to Deb and the crew at Brock for providing us with gourmet catering, gorgeous bouquets for Int'l Women's Day, and an all-round unforgettable evening. Picture 1: Colleen Allen, Sarah McElcheran and Rita Chiarelli in rehearsal for the show; Picture 2: Suzie Vinnick and me during the show (photo by Mike Chess); Picture 3: The grand finale (photo by Roxy Willems). There is a photo gallery with more on the Brock website.
