Tonight on Cha Cha Cha In Blue we jump into festival season with a Jazz Fest preview of the blues artists appearing at the festival this year, concentrating on some of the free shows on the Rogers Stage: Guy Belanger, Endrick & the Sandwiches, Jack de Keyzer, Cedric Burnside, Buffalo Nichols, Lachy Doley, and Angelique Francis. The Stephen Barry Band kicks things off at the Gesù on Thursday with the launch of their new cd "Only a Dream - 50 ans de blues" and we talk with the man himself about the band's history and the story behind some of the songs on the new album. In the "history" part of the show I've got Elizabeth Johnson, Frankie 'Half-Pint' Jaxon, Memphis Minnie, Memphis Slim, Howlin' Wolf, Pee Wee Crayton, Johnny "Big Moose" Walker, Albert King, Georgie Fame, Tad Robinson, and Lowell George. We'll close with a song from Pat Loiselle who'll be entertaining the 5 à 9 crowd at Bistro À Jojo on Thursday.
