A Note from the Band ...
"Greeting from Blue Moon Marquee. Stemming from the Badlands of the Rocky Mountain prairies, we are a self-styled gypsy blues band. An authentic duo who write and perform original compositions influenced by early blues, swing, and ragtime. A.W. Cardinal, a Metis of Cree heritage, howls with a distinctive thick and smoky vocal while playing a jazz tinged blues guitar. Jasmine Colette, aka Badlands Jass, (has toured and recorded with Bill Bourne, Paul Pigat, Wykham Porteous)is the rhythm section who not only commands the upright bass but also keeps the swing with both feet while singing harmonies. This is a feat many of our world travelling musician friends say they have never seen anywhere else. Now West-Coast based, we have been living all over the world & steadily touring for the last 4 years. We are happy and humbled to say we were the most requested Canadian band for the 2016 International Jazz festivals across Canada,invited to play 9 Jazz festivals across Canada ( Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Regina, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Ottawa, Saskatoon, and Montreal). In June 2016 we started a 40 date CAN tour encompassing 15 festivals and promoting our new full length album "Gypsy Blues".
Some words people have said about our shows and sound:
"Blue Moon Marquee's passionate performances and smouldering onstage chemistry is their trademark, and the way Colette's angelic tones lift A.W.'s beaten down "bukowski-esque" mystique is something that enthralls audiences from the back room bar to the public square." Canadian Music"
