OK the wait is over, we now have our six acts for each heat of the New Brunswick Battle of the Blues, and they are all shown below.
We hope that you come along to support all of the acts, maybe learn a bit about New Brunswick in general and the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival in particular, and enter our draw for a set of Matt Andersen CD’s. Matt is currently New Brunswick’s biggest Blues star and will be playing at and helping judge the final in on 29th March.
