Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we celebrate some of the nominees for the 27th Maple Blues Awards - Record/Producer Of The Year nominees Matt Andersen, Crystal Shawanda, Bywater Call, Brandon Isaak, and the Blackburn Brothers as well as our local nominees Guy Bélanger, Michael Jerome Browne, Dawn Tyler Watson, and The Sugar Darlings. VOTING IS OPEN ONLINE UNTIL DECEMBER 1, 2023 AT 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME AT https://www.mapleblues.ca/ . I could only squeeze in one new release this week but it's a killer - Bob Corritorre's "Somebody Put Bad Luck On Me". In the "history" part of the show I've got Robert Nighthawk, Ike Turner, Tommy Douglas, Hank Garland, LaVern Baker, Hot Lips Page, Black Ace, Rory Block, Mose Allison, Bobby Rush, and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. We'll close with a great instrumental from Ariel Posen to tease you before his Friday show at Théâtre Fairmount. Guitar World magazine named this an essential track in the week it was released!
