Cowichan’s Blue Moon Marquee gets Juno nod for Best Blues Album

After nabbing their first ever Juno win last year for Best Blues Album Cowichan Valley swing blues duo Blue Moon Marquee is over the moon to get a nomination in the same category for their new album New Orleans Sessions.

"This one feels particularly special because we did it so grassroots," said Jasmine Colette, who is one half of Blue Moon Marquee as the drummer, bassist and vocalist. A.W. Cardinal is the other half on vocals and guitar. "We’ve always been very indie and been involved on every level of all our albums from writing to producing to marketing, but this album was unique. No label, no funding, no big names. Just pure heart and soul with young players that have a deep reverence for the music."
