Bluesfest: The Brothers Dube

The Brothers Dube have done a lot of good work with their fundraising efforts, gigging outside the Bluesfest gates and elsewhere - I hear their latest tally is in the $135,000 range. They also got quite a bit of attention after last year's Bluesfest when Arcade Fire went out to jam with them (the brothers reportedly had no idea who they were). For this Bluesfest, they got some stage time (and also a big check from the Claridge Homes folks earlier in the festival).

Them brothers! Guitarist Liam, drummer Quinn and bassist Jan.

Then I once again took a powder, this time to check out Ben Cooper. You can check out their website for the latest news and to give them a hand.
  • Show reminder: There's furious fundraising action at the Elmdale with Furious Gord and Dirty Little Secret.
